WISPO is part of a team of 12 universities, 4 national labs, and numerous industry partners that was recently awarded $25 Million from the Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) to form the Universal Interoperability for Grid‐Forming Inverters (UNIFI) Consortium to advance grid-forming (GFM) inverter technologies. UNIFI will focus on integrating these GFM inverters into electric grids at any scale and enable seamless integration of inverter-based resources like solar, wind, batteries, and electric vehicles. Dominic Gross is the area lead for control research, one of four research areas within UNIFI.
