I can also state that renewables are making it much more difficult to control voltage & reactive power on our transmission system as they are not required to support reactive needs of the system in the way that spinning mass(turbines) are(they are also much more susceptible to weather for production of "real" power, or megawatts). Finally, with the loss of rotational mass on the system, we are much more susceptible to frequency decay in times of trouble(think multiple line relay operations breaking up pathways).
