UNIFI Consortium Formed to Advance Grid-Forming Inverter Technology with Support from U.S. Department of Energy

The International Federation of the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization (ISTO) has announced the formation of the Universal Interoperability for Grid-Forming Inverters (UNIFI) Consortium, a U.S. Department of Energy funded effort to advance grid-forming (GFM) inverter technology. UNIFI aims to facilitate the transition of electric power grids globally to accommodate grid-form technology across all power levels. The Consortium brings together researchers, industry stakeholders, utilities, and system operators to pursue advances in a range of GFM technologies led by DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), The University of Texas – Austin, and EPRI. The consortium operates in three areas: R&D, demonstration, commercialization, and outreach & training. Currently has 37 members, including utilities, system operators, inverter manufacturers, renewable energy integrators, software vendors, research laboratories and universities.
