Reduction of inertia from conventional generation is rising questions towards grid-operators about the reliability of generations in the upcoming years. The loss of synchronous generators in addition to the massive increase of renewable energy integration, especially on PV and wind, is creating some uncertainties about the stable operation of the electrical network. With this reduction of synchronous generation support, the rate of change of frequency is increasing during grid faults, giving rise to some protections tripping and creating a cascaded effect creating partial or total blackouts of the grid. In order to address this issue, this paper focuses on providing a stable partial inertial support for PV applications working on the maximum power point (MPP) to dynamically support the electrical grid.
