Virtual Synchronous Machine News Today

Gamesa Electric’s latest white paper explores the advanced functionalities that solar and battery inverters should be able to provide to enable greater integration of renewables into the grid and thus contribute as a key element to enhanced grid reliability and stability.

Civil and building works have now been completed on the site of the Northern Territory’s $45 million big battery, known as the Darwin-Katherine Battery Energy Storage System. The 35 MVA battery is being delivered by Hitachi Energy and will deploy Virtual Synchronous Machine technology, allowing it to provide virtual inertia and system strength services to the grid.

Battery storage project will deliver nearly AU$10 million annual electricity system cost savings in Australia’s Northern Territory.

The company plans to expand into other Asia-Pacific markets, including Japan and Taiwan.

Hornsdale Power Reserve battery storage system in South Australia now has upgraded capabilities, enabling it to provide inertia to the grid.

A 50MW/50MWh BESS will demonstrate the ability of smart inverter technologies to support the stability of the power grid in Australia. 

MELBOURNE, Australia, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluence (NASDAQ: FLNC), a global market leader in energy storage products and services and...

While hitherto the synchronous grid is dominated by the synchronous generators (SGs), recently the grid-following inverter-based power generation systems (IBPGS) are increasingly being connected to the power grid, resulting in a slowly decreasing system total inertia impacting the operation of the power systems, in areas such as potential failures in the operation of phase-locked loops (PLLs), increased rate of change of frequency, contingency frequency control required during islanding conditio...
