The electrical load can have an inertia-like quality. For example, typical industrial electrical motors consume less power at lower frequencies, adding a small, but noticeable amount of inertia to the system, [9] this effect is diminishing due to switching to modern and efficient variable-speed controls that have much less inertia-like response.
Because it takes work to speed up or slow down rotating mass, this inertia dampens the effects of active power imbalances and therefore stabilizes the frequency. [6] Because inverter-based generation inherently lacks inertia, increasing penetration of inverter-based renewable energy generation could endanger power system reliability. [7] [8]
An inverter-based resource (IBR) is a source of electricity that is asynchronously connected to the electrical grid via an electronic power converter ("inverter"). The devices in this category, also known as converter interfaced generation (CIG), include the variable renewable energy generators (wind, solar) and battery storage power stations. [1]
With growth of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Energy Storage, there has been research into using STATCOMs to aid or augment these uses. [34] [35] One area of recent research is virtual inertia: the use of an energy source on the DC side of a STATCOM to give it an inertia response similar to a synchronous condenser or generator. [36]
Magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) describes a class of fusion power devices that combine aspects of magnetic confinement fusion and inertial confinement fusion in an attempt to lower the cost of fusion devices. [1]

It is a type of application software used for power engineering problems which are transformed into ...
Avalanche Energy has received $5 million in venture capital to build their prototype. [84] CPP-IPR in India, has achieved a significant milestone by pioneering the development of India's first Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion (IECF) neutron source. The device is capable of reaching an energy potential of -92kV.
[3] [4] This breakthrough drove the US Department of Energy to create an Inertial Fusion Energy program in 2022 with a budget of 3 million dollars in its first year. [5] Conceptual design of the LIFE fusion power plant. NIF target gain over 11 years shows a ten-fold increase in 2021 due to the achievement of ignition.
