The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to University of South Florida (USF) to model the grid interaction between utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants and distributed energy resources (e.g. solar-plus-storage systems). The models would be used to develop a coordination strategy and a stability enhancement module for PV inverters. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
