WHILE THERE ARE MYRIAD ECONOMIC, SOCIetal, and operational debates associated with the continued
growth of wind and solar generation, on one aspect there
is uniform consensus: maintaining power system reliability is essential. There are many facets to system reliability,
and one is transient stability. This arcane branch of power
system engineering is opaque to the casual participant, yet
successful system operation demands that we get it right. In
greatly simplified shorthand, maintaining transient stability means keeping enough of the bits of the power system,
i.e., generation, transmission, and distribution, connected to
avoid interrupting customers after the grid is whacked by
Mother Nature or more nefarious forces. (See "Transient
Stability in a Nutshell.")
