Researchers from the University of Birmingham, UK, are working on new ways of preventing threats to grid stability that can result in the loss of power, equipment damage, and limited power transfer capability. With increasing reliance on renewables, the global installation of wind farms has increased rapidly. However, two major technological issues remain: power system frequency control and forced oscillations, which can cause widespread disruption across entire power grids.
