The study, published in Nature Energy, analyzed the reliability of the electrical supply after splitting larger grids into smaller autonomous cells, called “micro-grids”. A micro-grid would, for ...

Within a power system, the instantaneous loss of generation or import/export via an interconnector causes a disturbance in the grid frequency. In a low inertia system, it becomes increasingly feasible ...

The researchers also found that splitting a large grid into small microgrids – as a way of integrating additional renewable power generation or creating smaller, mostly independent grids - will lead ...

Power stored by flywheels, long a mainstay for uninterruptible power systems (UPS), has never been used for grid applications. That could change, according to California Energy Commissioner Art ...

Tallying is a way of recording data that counts in groups of five. The data is tallied as it is counted, with a mark for each piece of data, and then the frequency is recorded at the end. Frequency ...
