Summary of Reported
Research :
Energy Storage
Systems (ESS) are expected to play a significant role in regulating the
frequency of future electric power systems. Increased penetration of renewable
generation, and reduction in the inertia provided by large synchronous
generators, are likely to increase the severity and regularity of frequency events
in synchronous AC power systems. By supplying or absorbing power in response to
deviations from the nominal frequency and imbalances between supply and demand,
the rapid response of ESS will provide a form of stability which cannot be
matched by conventional network assets. However, the increased complexity of
ESS operational requirements and design specifications introduces challenges when
it comes to the realisation of their full potential through existing frequency
response service markets: new service markets will need to be designed to take
advantage of the capabilities of ESS. This paper provides new methods to
analyse and assessing the performance of ESS within existing service
frameworks, using real-time network simulation and power hardware in the loop.
These methods can be used to introduce improvements in existing services and
potentially create new ones. Novel statistical techniques have been devised to
quantify the design and operational requirements of ESS providing frequency regulation
services. These new techniques are demonstrated via an illustrative service
design and high-resolution frequency data from the Great Britain transmission
system.
Strength of
