Physics colloquium-“The Physics of the Power Grid: What is the Role of Inertia and its Alternatives in the Clean Energy Grid of the Future?”

Center for Technology and Learning Media (CTLM) 1650 Arapahoe St., Golden, CO, United States

Paul Denholm NREL Abstract: The existing power grid relies heavily on physical inertia provided by thermal and hydropower generators to maintain a nearly constant frequency. But the inverters used by wind and solar do not inherently provide physical inertia, and there is concern that replacing conventional generators with renewable resources could compromise grid stability. In […]
