Abstract

This paper delivers a unique strategy—inertia re-configuration, and provides viable tech schemes of innovation to solve the blackouts, especially like that frequently happen in South Australia due to wind power. Flywheel will directly participate in grid stabilization, but not be only an energy storage device any more. Confidently, new energy will become the main power of state grid in the future.
