contents In power networks based on Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs), fast controllers cause frequency and voltage dynamics to overlap. Thus, it becomes critical to assess the overall dynamic performance of such networks through a combined system-wide metric. This letter presents a unified metric designed to evaluate dynamic performance in such cases. The proposed metric consists of a weighted sum of local voltage phasor variations at each bus, where the weights are the complex powers injected at the buses. The proposed metric is further decomposed into device-driven and network-driven components, enabling a more comprehensive assessment of grid dynamics. A case study based on a modified version of the IEEE 39-bus system is presented, in which synchronous machines are replaced by inverter-based resources. A sensitivity analysis of the R/X ratio is utilized to evaluate the metric in conventional grids, as well as in those characterized by strong voltage-frequency coupling with complex power flows.
