Electricity transmission network operators are being tasked with adding more renewable energy resources to the power grid. The use of static VAR compensators (SVCs) is growing as a means to control ...

Robust control of reactive power and voltage is crucial for the stable and efficient operation of wind farms, particularly as renewable penetration increases worldwide. Contemporary strategies ...

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 ...

Mechanical damping of the turbine generator (T-G) is higher at higher power level. Subsynchronous torsional interaction (SSTI) depends on the degree of coupling between the HVDC converter and the T-G, ...

The traditional grid has been reliable because it is centralized. When a customer flips a switch, the lights turn on. Originally, the grid was designed with large generators accounting for much of the ...

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 ...

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and some light-emitting diodes (LEDs) present a much greater non-linear load on the distribution system compared to incandescent lights. As the less energy-efficient ...
