The loss of excitation (LOE) in synchronous generators represents a critical fault condition that can lead to severe operational disruptions and damage within power systems. Under normal conditions, ...

People in the power industry understand inertia and its importance to grid stability. As large thermal power plants and other inertia-providing units are replaced with renewable resources that provide ...

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 ...

South Australia – already leading the world with its share of wind and solar – is poised to become the first grid of its size to operate without synchronous generation within the next few years, ...
