National Grid ESO has agreed a deal with energy technology company Reactive Technologies to use its GridMetrix inertia measurement and analysis service for real-time analysis of the grid’s stability. Stability issues have increased as more renewables have joined the grid and improving the analysis of stability allows more renewables to come on stream. National Grid ESO has a target of zero-carbon power by 2025. The two have collaborated before on inertia measurement but the new service will see the first nationwide commercial use of GridMetrix.
