Comprehensive analysis of FERC Order 901's IBR reliability standards, including filing deadlines, compliance requirements, and implementation timeline through 2026.

The May 2026 NERC IBR registration deadline is approaching. Learn what Category 2 owners need to do now to ensure compliance with new reliability standards.

AI-era data centers behave like “electrified factories”: large, often fast-ramping, and increasingly colocated with generation.

Southwest Power Pool (SPP) is proposing a modeling package that must be submitted at the time of interconnection request.

ERCOT’s Model Quality Tests (MQT) are a formal set of dynamic simulations and evidence reports.

Short-circuit ratio (SCR) is a compact way to express “system strength”—how stiff the grid voltage looks to a device at its point of interconnection (POI).

GridStrong is scaling to help asset owners manage compliance with confidence.

Utility-scale inverter-based resources (IBRs)—wind, solar PV, and batteries—now sit at the center of grid reliability policy.

Translate data center reliability risks into utility-ready models: powerflow, EMT, short-circuit & harmonics.

Conventional turbine-generator shafts have very low inherent torsional damping.

AI data centers aren’t “just loads”—fast ramps, ride-through, and power quality create new grid reliability risks.

PRC-029 sets critical ride-through requirements for inverter-based resources (IBRs).

PRC-028-1 & ERCOT NOGRR 255 demand SER, FR & DDR—know what to record and how to pass audits.

PRC-029-1 makes IBR ride-through performance-based—unify design, models, and events to stay compliant.

PJM’s MOD-026/027 guidance sets new IBR modeling expectations—get ready now for MOD-026-2.
