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 ...

The wound‐rotor synchronous starter/generator (WRSSG) system has evolved as a critical component in high‐performance electrical drives, particularly in aeronautical applications where reliability, ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
