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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
