This can also be 1 intermittent voltage disturbances due to line faults seen as a short term frequency support. On the other hand, these sources might be quite restricted with respect to the available capacity and possible activation time. The inverters have a very low overload capability compared to synchronous machines. 2 loss of synchronism between SA and remainder of the grid Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 55 (2016) 999 – 1009 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect 3 SA islanded: frequency collapse in a quarter of a second Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/rser The relevance of inertia in power systems ERCOT CONCEPT PAPER PUBLIC Pieter Tielens n , Dirk Van Hertem Impact of Low Rotational Inertia on Future Ancillary Services in ERCOT ELECTA, Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT), University of Leuven (KU Leuven), Leuven, Belgium and EnergyVille, Genk, Belgium Power System Stability and Operation ERCOT is recommending the transition to the following five AS products plus one additional AS Andreas Ulbig, Theodor S.
