A generator control computer device for operating at least one generator attached to a grid is provided. The generator control computer device includes at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The generator control computer device is configured to receive, from at least one sensor, a plurality of sensor readings representing one or more conditions of the at least one generator, calculate a current grid impedance of the grid based on the plurality of sensor readings, determine a steady state stability limit for the at least one generator based on the current grid impedance, and adjust operation of the at least one generator based on the determined steady state stability limit.

An optimization-based method and system is disclosed to enable heterogeneous loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) to participate in grid ancillary services, such as spinning and non-spinning reserves, and ramping reserves. The method includes receiving inputs for decision parameters for optimizing an objective for obtaining flexible reserve power, solving the objective for obtaining flexible reserve power, determining a reserve power schedule for a prediction horizon for providing flexible reserve power based on the objective, generating a service bid based on the reserve power schedule for the power grid; and when the service bid is accepted, providing flexible reserve power to the power grid based on the service bid.
