What is inertia in power plants?
Inertia from rotating electrical generators in fossil, nuclear, and hydroelectric power plants represents a source of stored energy that can be tapped for a few seconds to provide the grid time to respond to power plant or other system failures.
How important is inertia to a power system?
The importance of inertia to a power system depends on many factors, including the size of the grid and how quickly generators in the grid can detect and respond to imbalances. A grid with slower generators needs more inertia to maintain reliability than a grid that can respond quickly.
