Are energy storage technologies a viable alternative to inertia?
Energy storage technologies have emerged as a viable alternative to providing inertia through virtual inertia, i.e. inertia generated or simulated with power electronics and controls (Zhao and Ding, , Zhang et al., , Fang et al., 2017a).
How does inertial response affect electricity generation?
To accommodate the imbalance between supply and demand due to the drop in generation, the remaining online generators convert their rotational kinetic energy (inertia) into real power generation—referred to as inertial response. This process slows the generators and results in a drop in grid frequency.
What is power system inertia?
Power system engineers typically describe the inertia of a generator in terms of stored rotational kinetic energy (EPRI ), so inertia has the same units of energy (power delivered over a period of time).
