An inverter-based resource (IBR) is a source of electricity that is asynchronously connected to the electrical grid via an electronic power converter ("inverter"). The devices in this category, also known as converter interfaced generation (CIG) and power electronic interface source, include the variable renewable energy generators (wind, solar) and energy storages such as battery, super capacitors, etc.. These devices lack the intrinsic behaviors (like the inertial response of a synchronous generator
