Modern power systems face increasing challenges as they integrate renewable energy sources and advanced digital technologies. Key to maintaining reliable electricity supply is the design of robust ...

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 ...

How can AI stabilize the power grid? New research uses biomimetic neural networks to manage the uncertainty of solar and wind energy, reducing hardware costs and preventing blackouts.

AI data centers feature extremely high power densities, with loads that can ramp up or down within seconds, creating significant challenges for power system stability. Power quality issues such as ...

In its latest monthly column for pv magazine, IEA-PVPS provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art practices, best practices, and recommendations for managing reactive power amidst the ...

Massive integration of inverter-based renewable energy systems has been displacing conventional generating units (mainly synchronous generators) and causing a reduction in power system inertia. This ...

One concern some observers raise about the growth of inverter-based resources, such as solar, wind, and battery storage, supplying the power grid is that they don’t provide inertia. Inertia has ...

Many voltage regulators are of the fixed output variety and include the voltage divider internal to the regulator. There are definite advantages to this approach, which allows active voltage trimming ...
