Energy Exploration & Exploitation, Vol. 39, No. 6 (November 2021), pp. 2103-2125 (23 pages) The high-level penetration of intermittent renewable power generation may limit power system inertia, ...

Siemens Energy will supply a synchronous condenser system to the Electricity Supply Board (ESB), Ireland's energy company. The grid stabilizing system will be developed at the Moneypoint power station ...

As coal, gas, and nuclear plants are retired, and wind and solar resources are added to the power grid, stability can become a problem. Understanding the solutions that are available to help manage ...

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, ...

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 ...

As coal and gas plants are taken offline to be replaced by wind and solar, grid stability and system strength can become serious challenges. This is due to the inherent inertia provided by rotating ...

Generating electricity from geothermal energy is a complicated process that relies on underground reservoirs of water heated by the Earth’s crust. The steam created in the reservoirs is drawn to the ...

Global demand for electricity supply continues to grow. Power generation providers constantly evaluate capacity additions and the tradeoffs between alternatives. Since American utilities are building ...
