Inertia in bulk electric power systems is been gradually reduced due to the integration of renewable energy sources which substitute conventional synchronous generators, because the former resources are most often interfaced with the grid though electronic power converters with no rotating masses. Inertia is important in bulk electric power systems to maintain stability (especially frequency and angle stability) and its reduction must be addressed to ease the sustainability of electric power systems in the future.
This research project will try to understand the nature and extend of the problem described, and will study possible solutions and their optimal distribution.
Layman's summary: This project will investigate the nature and extend of the problems associated with the reduction of inertia in power systems. It will study possible solutions and their optimal distribution.
