When I used modeling software for electrical stability (motor starts causing voltage dips) in microgrids, a common input is -

what is the rotational inertia of the generator(s) (with gas turbine or steam turbine, and reduction gear),

because the more the rotational inertia - the less the voltage dip.

When I finished a course on electrical stability, I told Dr. Mo: When you stability engineers fail, we protection engineers take over. He did not like the comment.

What exactly is a "Rare Atmospheric Phenomenon" and how does one prepare for something like this?
