In simple terms, inertia refers to the energy stored in the rotating masses of synchronous generators, typically found in traditional thermal power plants. This stored kinetic energy acts as a cushion ...

General Electric will demolish the 750 MW Inland Empire Energy Center (IEEC) in California that has 20 years remaining in its useful life. With solar and wind dominating the grid, the plant has been ...

Xingpeng Li, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Houston. In the race to achieve a net-zero future based on clean energy, renewable energy sources like ...

As we move away from large power plants with massive rotating turbogenerators, there will be problems with maintaining lock-step grid system frequency stability. Wind turbines have much less ...

German transmission system operator Amprion has commissioned Siemens Energy with the construction of two SVC PLUS series static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) systems to further stabilize the ...

A group of researchers in Australia has outlined a new methodology to determine the minimum power rating of energy storage systems (ESSs) used for emergency under-frequency response. The ESS size must ...

Carrier Injection Sensorless (CIS) rotor position estimation for electric machines depends on the rotor saliency "seen" from the stator terminals. Compared to permanent magnet and induction machines, ...
