← TechnologyWhich risk escalates when increased penetration of PV solar destabilizes grid frequency in electrical power systems?
A)Cascading failures across interconnected grids✓
B)Transformer saturation due to DC injection
C)Substation fires from reactive power imbalances
D)Generator damage from excessive synchronization
💡 Explanation
When PV penetration destabilizes grid frequency, unintentional islanding leads to local frequency deviations causing increased stress on system controls which can propagate causing cascading failures. Therefore blackouts amplify, rather than saturation, fire or generator failures which require different preconditions.
