Is America running out of electrical power?

Transient stability analysis is crucial for understanding the behavior of power systems during transient disturbances, such as sudden acceleration of the rotor shaft. This study helps utility and independent power producers (IPPs) and co-generation companies maintain equilibrium under normal conditions and regain it after a disturbance, ensuring the system remains in a stable state.

March 21: Wide Area Blackout Prevention Using Advanced Models Learn why grid models require updates to prove that the grid can recover after three phase faults are cleared. Updated models must include air conditioners, electric vehicles, and distributed energy sources as criteria for analyzing fault recovery.

Inertia is a fundamental property of matter, which dictates that an object will remain in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. This principle is especially relevant in the context of power generation, where overcoming the inertia of moving parts is crucial for optimal performance. The challenge is even greater when dealing with frictionless futures, where the absence of friction creates a unique set of engineering and operational hurdles. #inertia #powergeneration #frictionlessfutures #movingparts

September 2nd 1859 saw Earth saturated with atmospheric electricity following total collapse of our planet's electromagnetic shield provoked by an abnormally strong X-class solar eruption. Electronics of the day were limited to telegraphs mostly damaged worldwide despite of tough build - some up in flames - a few others mysteriously kept running without working batteries. People in Florida could read their newspapers with the blue-green illuminated night sky. Commonly referred to as the Carrington Event, NASA estimates this can happen again at any moment with 12% certainty of global Armageddon for all mankind unlike in the past, fully reliant on working electronics & electricity for survival at all levels of society. The US military estimates that 90% of the people would die within the year following such an electromagnetic pulse event (EMP) either planetary with a solar eruption, or continental with a sufficiently high altitude nuclear detonation, followed by nuclear world war 3 ending most mankind & life on Earth during prolonged nuclear winter. This was much classified & hushed information at the height of the Cold War, after which the US government, army & numerous elected officials, EMP shielding industry insiders & informed laymen have routinely, publicly sounded the alarm for decades past around the world & in the United States, about the cataclysmic risks & end of modern civilization. In American philosopher & novelist Ayn Rand's day, all this was much of a state secret, as clearly she seems to have talked in code in her epic novel Atlas Shrugged to raise long term awareness among other primary philosophical & political objectives, about the Carrington Event by repeated allusions to September 2nd & atmospheric electricity. She certainly must have gotten wind of the high altitude nuclear risk & classified information when researching Oppenheimer for a much unknown writing project, and must certainly have felt frustrated at how to impart such knowledge without compromising national security of the American Republic. Today several capitalist commercial options exist to gradually shield vehicles, buildings & electronics at large to prevent or at worst mitigate the unthinkable, yet far from enough. More must be done. You may get $50 OFF all purchase session of EMPshield TM with coupon code ROARK to incept this American & global effort to save all mankind from extinction.

Is smaller better for a modern electric grid?

https://lnkd.in/dtYMQ9ZU In a future likely dominated by distributed RE based power sources with efficient storage mechanisms, wonder if Grid forming inverters would just be a stop gap soln to the end soln. That end soln being self sustaining micro.grids or local islands, esp during daylight hrs. There might be ∆ in the freq. of individual islands, but as long as the gen >> load, might be enough to allow a frequency band (w.o having to adhere to a grid dominated master frequency) Inertial generation via Long distance TLs might well be Ltd only to provide power to high population density areas. And even then, might only be useful if Pumped hydro is being used to generate synchronous power during nights.

New H2O Energy has robust cost effective solutions that will address the fragility of electricity grids. The solutions can balance the use of green electricity by repurposing old coal mines.#electricity #grid #renewables
