Solar panels, batteries, and wind turbines, known as inverter-based resources, convert DC power into AC for the grid, requiring synchronization with grid frequency and voltage control.Challenges remain, however, including maintaining grid stability during frequency deviations, inability to provide power during blackouts, and managing faults without triggering protective shutdowns.
