🔌 The Hidden Challenge of Renewables: Voltage Stability in an IBR-Dominated Grid ⚡ As grids transition to high renewable penetration, voltage stability is becoming a growing challenge. Unlike synchronous generators, IBRs (solar, wind, batteries): ⚡ Provide low short-circuit current, weakening grid stiffness. ⚡ Are current-limited, reducing dynamic voltage support. ⚡ Use PLL-based control, which can destabilize weak grids. Even with Fault Ride-Through (FRT) & reactive power support, IBRs don’t fully replace synchronous machines in ensuring grid voltage stability. 🛠 Solutions We Need: ✅ Grid-Forming Inverters → Provide voltage & frequency support. ✅ Synchronous Condensers → Restore reactive power & inertia. ✅ STATCOMs & FACTS → Fast dynamic voltage control. ✅ Stronger Transmission & Monitoring → Improve system resilience. The shift to renewables is inevitable—but without stability measures, we risk voltage collapse & power disruptions. What’s the best way forward—grid-forming inverters or hybrid solutions? Let’s discuss! 👇 #Renewables #GridStability #VoltageControl #IBRs #EnergyTransition

How an HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) system works ? 1️⃣ The process begins at an offshore wind farm, where wind turbines generate electricity in the form of #AlternatingCurrent (AC). 2️⃣ AC power is transmitted to an offshore converter platform. Here, the AC is converted into #DirectCurrent (DC), why? → DC is more efficient for long-distance transmission. 3️⃣ DC power then travels through underwater cables (specially designed to carry high-voltage #DC power) to reach the onshore station. 4️⃣ Once the DC power reaches the onshore station, DC is converted back into AC, why? → power grid and most appliances use AC power. 5️⃣ Finally, #AC #power is supplied to an onshore substation and distributed to the grid, where it can be used by consumers (you 🫵🏽) 💡 This process allows for efficient transmission of electricity from remote renewable energy sources - like offshore #windfarms - to onshore grids where it can be utilized. It’s a key technology for integrating renewable energy into the power grid ♻ GE Vernova's Electrification businesses provides #HVDC #technology solutions for connecting #offshore #windenergy production to #onshore electrical #grids using HVDC systems. 💚 GE Vernova
