Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Download Q&A Responses Featured Speaker: Julia Matevosyan, Chief Engineer, ESIG Julia Matevosyan About the Webinar: As shares of inverter-based resources increase, fewer synchronous generators may be online at any given time. Inertial response available from synchronous machines after a sudden large imbalance on the system is therefore diminishing. Various methods and technologies to improve and supplement inertial response exist and are gradually being deployed in power systems with high shares of inverter-based resources. Regardless of…
