By smoothing over unstable voltage waveforms - inertia is a fascinating and important part of the system. Being able to accurately measure inertia is becoming more and more important as we transition to renewable generation, which is changing the weight of inertia on the grid.
On the latest episode of Modo: The Podcast, Chris Kimmett - Chief Operations Officer at Reactive Technologies joins Quentin to teach us how measuring inertia is imperative to balancing the system. During the course of the conversation, Chris and Quentin discuss:
- The definition of inertia and what processes are implemented to measure it.
- How the transition to greener energy production is impacting the amount of inertia on the grid and why measuring this is important.
- Other countries' grid design and an insight as to why they developed in that way.
- How being able to accurately measure inertia is important and what type of businesses benefit from being able to do so?
- The vision for Reactive Technologies and their role in all of this.
