Inertia has provided frequency stability since the introduction of synchronous generators in the first AC electricity networks. But as we increase the role of non-synchronous generation in the grid, we face a system-stability challenge.

The exponential growth of solar power highlights the transformative potential of solar energy. To realise this potential, we must address critical infrastructure challenges at the substation level to ensure that increased production translates into usable energy and reduces curtailment.

A number of companies are currently developing new innovations, using distributed ledger technology (DLT), that can offer real-world value. ENODA is one of these companies - advancing DLT to more effectively manage and stabilise energy systems.

The UK is falling behind on most of its energy security objectives. New technologies which could transform electricity grids are arriving. How will they contribute to our energy security?

The ANC's historic defeat in South Africa, is in part, due to the socio-economic impact of having a dangerously unstable energy system. The rest of the world should take note.

A system that matches supply and demand to maximise the utility of energy, ensures the lowest marginal cost of electricity. This brings value most to those at the margins. Andrew Scobie discusses this and more in his latest article for us.
