Monitoring grid stability with hydropower signals

Smart Energy International

US researchers have created a new method to predict electric grid stability in real time using signals from pumped storage hydropower facilities. Yilu Liu, UT-ORNL Governor’s Chair for power grids who has led the project, explains that when the hydropower facility pumps shut down, they almost always stop at a fixed power level.
