Tesla Helps Solve Grid Challenges in South Australia

Tesla’s Virtual Machine Mode (VMM) has been installed at Australia’s second largest Li-ion battery to provide stability to the grid by emulating mechanical inertia.

  One of the biggest problems for electricity grids when adding more renewable energy sources is replicating inertia. Inertia is naturally found in the heavy equipment used in fossil fuel plants. The generators and motors in the plant rotate at the same frequency as the grid, usually at either 50 or 60
