Learn MoreInertia in power systems refers to the energy stored in large rotating generators and some industrial motors, which gives them the tendency to remain rotating. This stored energy can be particularly valuable when a large power plant fails, as it can temporarily make up for the power lost from the failed generator.
Wind and solar do not inherently provide inertia because these systems are connected to the grid through non-synchronous inverters. In contrast, firm renewable resources like geothermal, biomass, and hydroelectric generators are synchronously connected to the grid and can provide rotational inertia.
Historically, in the U.S. power grid, inertia from conventional fossil, nuclear, and hydropower generators was abundant—and thus taken for granted in the planning and operations of the system.
This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory at Inertia in power systems refers to the energy stored in large rotating generators and some industrial motors, which gives them the tendency to remain rotating.
A grid with slower generators needs more inertia to maintain reliability than a grid that can respond quickly. Using power electronics, inverter-based resources including wind, solar, and storage can quickly detect frequency deviations and respond to system imbalances.
Moreover, the system inertia of future power systems was discussed. It was illustrated that this inertia will mainly consist out of a mix of inertia from conventional power plants and virtual inertia delivered by converter connected generation which employ a (kinetic) energy buffer to contribute to this system inertia.
