Composite short circuit ratio (CSCR) estimates the equivalent system impedance seen by multiple inverter-based resources by creating a common medium voltage bus and tying all inverter-based resources of interest together at that common bus. The composite short circuit MVA at the common bus without current contribution from the inverter-based resources, $CSC_{MVA}$, is then calculated. CSCR can then be calculated as
$ CSCR = \frac{CSC_{MVA}}{MW_{VER}} $
where $MW_{VER}$ is the sum of the nominal power rating of all inverter-based resources considered. This method calculates an aggregate SCR for multiple inverter-based resources, rather than each resource like the conventional SCR approach.
