The IEC Working Group on “Grid-forming Energy Storage Systems (GFM ESS) in HVAC systems,” initiated by NR Electric, has been officially approved.

Recently, the 2025 annual meeting of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) SC22F was held in Singapore. The IEC SC22F Committee formally reviewed and approved the new working proposal titled “Grid-forming Energy Storage Systems (GFM ESS) in High-voltage AC Systems,” initiated by NR Electric. It agreed to establish a formal working group, with Dr. Changjiang Zhan of NR Electric serving as the convener of this new working group.

At the meeting, Dr. Changjiang Zhan presented the new working proposal, outlining the present work conducted by the existing IEC temporary working groups and CIGRE B4 working groups. He highlighted globally the lack of a unified standard system for grid-forming energy storage systems. National Representatives from China, Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, India, Singapore, and other participating countries unanimously approved the proposal.

This working group is the first formal working group under IEC SC22F dedicated to develop the series standards of grid-forming technology. It will concentrate on the grid-forming energy storage systems and equipment in high-voltage AC systems (including grid-forming Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), grid-forming Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), Static Synchronous Condenser (SSC)/E-STATCOM, and other future grid-forming equipment or systems).

To address grid stability challenges arising from the large-scale integration of high proportions of renewable energy, NR Electric has successfully developed the NR-ISGrid series of solutions. This solution features the full voltage source characteristics with natural response. It can independently establish power systems collaborating with multiple power sources, supporting the smooth transition from traditional to new power systems. NR Electric has pioneered the industry by successfully developing a series of grid-forming equipment, including grid-forming energy storage, grid-forming STATCOM, static synchronous condensers, and grid-forming VSC  HVDC systems. To date, over 120 grid-forming projects have been successfully implemented globally, with a total capacity exceeding 14 GW.
