← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a power grid lacks sufficient spinning reserve capacity?
A)Frequency instability degrades synchronization✓
B)Transformer core saturation declines rapidly
C)High voltage DC link resonance
D)Microgrid islanding becomes unstable
💡 Explanation
Insufficient spinning reserve increases the risk of frequency instability during sudden load changes because under-frequency load shedding activates; therefore grid collapse chance increases, rather than the transformer or microgrid destabilization scenarios.
