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 ...

On November 18, 2021, FERC issued a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) seeking comments on reactive power capability compensation and market design. (Link to NOI here). Reactive power is a critical component of ...

The NOPR identifies a number of issues with FERC's existing policy for providing reactive power, including that such compensation is not tied to a particular geographic need, the process for ...

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 ...

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 ...
