Let's talk reliability of BESS system operation: i.e. staying online even while there are grid disturbances. IBRs - or Inverter-Based Resources - such as solar and energy storage power plants rely on inverters to transform DC into AC, hence the name. As Ryuta Ray Saka, VP of Business Strategy and Services and an inverter expert, explains in this blog post, the latest report by NERC shows that IBRs haven't sailed through disturbances as project designers, operators and the grid need and wish them to do. As the energy storage market expands to make up a bigger portion of the renewable energy ecosystem, IBRs have to perform Fault Ride Through (FRT). But how?

We’re excited to join Primergy Solar in announcing the start of operation of the Gemini Solar + Storage project in Nevada. Gemini is the largest DC-coupled installation in the U.S. and an important technical achievement for the energy storage market. Its successful commissioning and operation show that coupled solar and energy storage projects can provide large scale reliable on-demand electricity supply to the energy grid. We are proud to be a trusted partner for this incredible milestone in renewable energy development! #energystorage #solar #GeminiSolarStorage #GeminiSolar #renewableenergy
We are excited to announce today, in collaboration with Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, the 690MW #solar PV and 380MW 4-hour #batterystorage Gemini project has reached commercial operation! During construction, Gemini created approximately 1,300 union and prevailing wage jobs and contributed $463 million to Nevada’s economy. Now completed, the project is delivering clean, affordable power to Nevada. “Achieving full commercial operations marks a significant technical and financial milestone for our team. We successfully navigated challenging supply chain and inflation issues through proactive planning and collaboration to bring this project online. We are grateful to our partners and investors for their commitment and shared vision in delivering clean energy to the western US," said Primergy CEO Ty Daul.
