Rising electricity demand from EVs and AI is stressing a grid built of centralized, rotating generators. Renewables can provide fill the rising demand, but are they “grid ...

Researchers in the United States have created a droop control strategy for grid-forming inverters that purportedly improves power system frequency stability. By using an exponential active ...

A research team from Swiss research institute ETH Zurich has created a new algorithm for operating inverters in a grid-forming mode. The patented algorithm operates the inverter as a voltage source, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Edge computing and AI are revolutionizing utility operations by enabling real-time, autonomous decision-making at the grid edge, improving reliability, reducing costs, and supporting renewable ...

Late last month, researchers revealed a finding that’s likely to shock some people and confirm the low expectations of others: Renewable energy facilities throughout Central Europe use unencrypted ...

Since the Iberian Peninsula lost power in a massive blackout, grid operators are in the process of trying to restore power to millions of customers and businesses. As you might imagine, the ...

Renewable energy is changing the grid. How can we keep it reliable? At roughly midday on Monday, April 28, the lights went out in Spain. The grid blackout, which extended into parts of Portugal and ...
