Abstract
Green energy policies are accelerating the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) across Europe. The transition significantly reduces the share of conventional synchronous generation, which historically ensured power system stability through inertia. This paper investigates the implications of reduced inertia in two European high-voltage grids: Eastern Germany's 50Hertz network and the Balearic Islands' grid. Simulations performed using DIgSILENT PowerFactory v2024 analyse static and dynamic stability under current and future scenarios. Results indicate critical voltage and frequency deviations under high-RES penetration, underscoring the necessity of adaptive stability measures. The findings guide strategies for maintaining reliable electricity supply amid evolving generation portfolios.
