OSTI ID:1659891
This fact sheet summarizes the report “Inertia and the Power Grid: A Guide Without the Spin” (NREL/TP-6A20-73856), which provides an overview of inertia’s role in the evolving power system. It describes the sources of inertia in the grid, the intrinsic interplay of inertia and other grid services, the factors that impact the amount of and need for inertia, and the changes that can be made to maintain reliability as it declines. The guide is intended for nontechnical audiences.
