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, ...

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 ...

Energy Exploration & Exploitation, Vol. 39, No. 6 (November 2021), pp. 2103-2125 (23 pages) The high-level penetration of intermittent renewable power generation may limit power system inertia, ...

Concern about system security has already delayed the closure of Australia's biggest coal generator. But a landmark battery project may provide a quicker and cheaper solution.

In simple terms, inertia refers to the energy stored in the rotating masses of synchronous generators, typically found in traditional thermal power plants. This stored kinetic energy acts as a cushion ...

A wind energy conversion system needs a maximum power point tracking strategy. In the literature, several works have interested in the search for a maximum power point. Generally, their goals are to ...

An introduction to the symmetric, multiphase, wound-rotor “synchronous” doubly-fed motor or generator system, called SYNCHRO-SYM. How SYNCHRO-SYM is only possible with brushless, automatic, ...

Cutting edge battery storage technology designed to provide crucial grid balancing services that are traditionally the preserve of fossil fuel power plants will be showcased in Tahiti, in a project ...

Electricity transmission networks could soon be required to invest in big batteries, or other heavy duty equipment to help stabilise the nation's increasingly fragile power grid. The national body ...
