Title: A Decade of Discovery: My Journey with IBR Integration Overview: Over the past decade, the electric power industry has seen a dramatic rise in the interconnection of inverter-based resources (IBRs) across both transmission and distribution systems. This presentation offers a personal reflection on my professional journey through this evolving landscape—from confronting early technical challenges to contributing to collaborative industry efforts that shaped emerging standards. Drawing on field experience, committee leadership, and cross-sector initiatives, I’ll share key lessons learned in integrating IBRs with a focus on maintaining and enhancing grid reliability.
