Case study analysis of a new frequency response service designed for energy storage. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are expected to play a significant role in regulating the frequency of future electric power systems.
However, in order to provide effective frequency regulation service for power systems with a sufficient power and energy capacity, a large amount of SBESSs need to be operated in a cluster and coordinated with efficient coordination strategies.
This paper presents a technique for reducing the frequency fluctuation using the Advanced Energy Storage System with utility inductors. The proposed ESS acts as a load and gets itself charged as well as can supply power to maintain balance in demand and supply.
The energy storage systems are used for controlling the frequency of the system [ 25 ]. To compensate for the mismatch of generation-load, an advanced energy storage system is proposed in the paper so that the nominal frequency of the power system is maintained.
The coal-based system is restricted in its capacity to give the frequency control due to the limitation of the power ramp rate. Therefore, this advanced energy storage system is suited to high-frequency operation.
Conclusions In this paper, a hierarchical frequency regulation strategy was proposed for enhancing the resilience of power systems by regulating system frequency. In the recovery stage, the power systems are coupled with communication systems.
