As gas and steam power generation plants approach the end of their operational life, plant owners face a challenging decision between upgrading or retiring the plant. Retiring a power generation unit ...

It hasn’t been that long since humans figured out how to create power grids that integrated multiple generators and consumers. Ever since AC won the battle of the currents, grid operators have had to ...

As global power grids transition from centralized fossil-based generation to decentralized, renewable sources, system stability has become a critical challenge. The phasing out of synchronous ...

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 ...

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 ...
