The image above is for a reference in double-column IEEEtran class.

One potential solution is mentioned in Forcing linebreak in bibliography with natbib, but this works when there are no single extremely long words in the link. The link above contains a long PDF file name

PGLowSCRWindGenerationInstabilityIdentificationandMitigation.pdf

The name is too long that it cannot fit in one column, but LaTeX still does not hyphenate it.

The solution in Forcing linebreak in bibliography with natbib yields

Thus, further decrease in the link size is needed.

Is there a way to force it to stay within the column width while maintain an intact hyperlink?

\begin{filecontents*}{sample.bib}
@online{lovelace2015low,
    author = {{Lovelace, Will}},
    title = {{Low SCR Wind Integration and Mitigation}},
    url = {http://www.cce.umn.edu/documents/CPE-Conferences/MIPSYCON-PowerPoints/2015/PGLowSCRWindGenerationInstabilityIdentificationandMitigation.pdf},
    organization = {Minnkota Power Cooperative},
    date = {2015-11-11},
    urldate = {2019-05-20}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass[]{IEEEtran}

\usepackage[square,numbers]{natbib}

\begin{document}

\cite{lovelace2015low}

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{sample}

\end{document}

With an current tex distribution you can use package xurl like this (see marking <==== in the code):

\begin{filecontents*}{sample.bib}
@online{lovelace2015low,
    author = {{Lovelace, Will}},
    title = {{Low SCR Wind Integration and Mitigation}},
    url = {http://www.cce.umn.edu/documents/CPE-Conferences/MIPSYCON-PowerPoints/2015/PGLowSCRWindGenerationInstabilityIdentificationandMitigation.pdf},
    organization = {Minnkota Power Cooperative},
    date = {2015-11-11},
    urldate = {2019-05-20}
}
\end{filecontents*}


\documentclass[]{IEEEtran}

\usepackage{xurl} % <===================================================
\usepackage[square,numbers]{natbib}


\begin{document}

\cite{lovelace2015low}

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{sample}

\end{document}

and its result:

resulting pdf
