报告摘要：

The rapid transition towards power systems dominated by inverter-based resources (IBRs) is fundamentally reshaping how electricity systems are planned, operated, and regulated. Traditional power systems relied on synchronous machines, where many essential technical services—such as inertia, frequency response, voltage control, and system strength—were inherently provided as by-products of energy and capacity provision. In contrast, in IBR-dominated systems these services are no longer automatic, are highly locational and state-dependent, and may require explicit technical design choices, operational coordination, and market incentives. This talk examines how the concept of system services must be redefined to ensure secure, reliable, and cost-effective operation under high penetrations of wind, solar, storage, and other power-electronic-interfaced technologies. It explores the physical foundations of services, their interactions across timescales, and the challenges posed by uncertainty, heterogeneity, and fragmentation of IBR technologies. Drawing on real-world operational experience and recent research, the talk highlights emerging limitations of legacy adequacy frameworks and argues for a more structured, service-centric approach to planning, operation, and investment.
