From Florida to California distribution feeders are being overloaded due to home generation of solar energy
In recent years, electricity generation employing renewable energy sources such as wind and solar dramatically increased and will continue to grow substantially in the future. Such developments cause a shift from conventional synchronous generators with well-known inherent behaviour to inverter-based generation with the behaviour strongly depending on the implemented control algorithms. Associated with this trend towards inverter based renewable energy generation is the reduction of system inertia leading to concerns on higher frequency gradients which can result in lower frequency nadirs and ...
