Geothermal power offers a stable, continuous source of renewable energy that could help power millions of homes while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. As governments worldwide pursue ...

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 ...

What is wind power density? The different types of generators used in wind-turbine systems. What architecture is most commonly used in high-power wind-energy-conversion systems (WECS)? Fundamental ...

Power stations and generators are often mentioned in the same breath, but they occupy very different roles in the energy chain. One is a sprawling industrial system that turns fuel or natural forces ...

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 ...

Energy markets are undergoing some massive transitions. Growing demand for electricity, when combined with the need to limit carbon emissions, drives a huge increase in renewables. This growth is ...

A new white paper examines how Australia can ensure electricity system security in the transition from baseload generators and spinning machines to a grid dominated by inverter-based resources.
