As power systems evolve towards higher renewable energy (RE) penetration, engineers are increasingly encountering oscillatory phenomena that don’t fit traditional mental models. One particularly interesting
This article delves into SSCI impact on frequency stability, compliance, and the risk of operational curtailment due to power quality. As renewable energy resources expand, inverter-connected installations like Utility-Scale Wind Power Sites and Commercial Solar Energy Infrastructure bring a risk of sub-synchronous control interactions (SSCI). These low-frequency oscillations, arising from interactions between inverters and compensating devices, challenge grid stability and asset lifespan.
Harmonic impedance scanning is a powerful analytical technique used in electrical power systems to evaluate system behavior across a range of frequencies. This method is particularly useful for identifying resonance conditions and assessing the impact of harmonics on the quality of supply (Power Quality (PQ)).
VECTO System: Enabling a stable, renewable-powered Japan. This advanced metering and analysis solution delivers precise FCAS metering and control data, exceeding Japanese standards for a reliable and efficient grid, even with increasing renewable energy integration.
Dynamic State Estimation in Inverter-Dominated Power Systems serves as a valuable tool for power engineers, concentrating on solving the obstacles related to incorporating inverter-based renewable
The Synchro-Waveform (a.k.a. synchronous waveforms) paper by Hamed Mohsenian-Rad and Wilsun Xu, both IEEE Fellows shows how synchro-waveform monitoring is a useful tool for power engineers. It discusses the latest developments in synchro waveform technology, power system stability, and energy economy. This paper goes over the basics of synchro waveform analysis, real-time power system monitoring, and techniques for synchronising large-scale power networks.
The VECTO Grid OS monitoring platform has taken a major step forward in supporting the latest and planned requirements for Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS)
Rooftop solar is already South Australia’s largest electricity generator with about 1300 megawatts of capacity involving one in every three homes. A full picture of the grid, as it stands, is the precursor to a successful transition to a resilient, distributed grid architecture. Policy makers need to give engineers the data they need if they are to expect a successful transition.
the United States has not launched such a mission to counter the gravest threat of our time: climate change. Although a few clean-energy technologies, such as wind and solar power, have reached cost competitiveness with fossil fuels, many more urgently need advances if the world is to achieve net-zero carbon emissions—a herculean feat known as “deep decarbonization.”

“There was grid stability in the past, we still have it mainly now, and of course we’ll have it in the future”. That statement is

The threat of chronic blackouts is sparking a rush to install battery backup systems as California homeowners try to avoid disruptive power cuts related to wildfires.
Given the divisions in ownerships of distribution, transmission and generation assets and the separate jurisdictions of the Energy Security Board, the Australian Energy Regulator, the Australian Energy Market Commission and the Australian Energy Market Operator there is urgent need for mandated, overall monitoring and control of the NEM.
Synchronised, GPS-based monitoring and the use of Big Data analysis is the way towards flexible AC transmission as renewable penetration continues on its seemingly unstoppable growth.
