Sources & evidence
- GFM Inverter Interoperability Through Hardware Testing 2024
Reports individual-unit results in the UNIFI 1 MW multi-vendor grid-forming inverter test program; not proof of widespread cross-vendor grid black-start service.
- DOE UNIFI Consortium
Grid-forming controls provide voltage/frequency support and can support black start; the program develops interoperability and demonstrations.
