Frequency Regulation 101: Understanding the
Frequency regulation is critical for maintaining a stable and reliable power grid. When the demand for electricity fluctuates throughout the
In the end, a control framework for large-scale battery energy storage systems jointly with thermal power units to participate in system frequency regulation is constructed, and the proposed frequency regulation strategy is studied and analyzed in the EPRI-36 node model.
The results of the study show that the proposed battery frequency regulation control strategies can quickly respond to system frequency changes at the beginning of grid system frequency fluctuations, which improves the stability of the new power system frequency including battery energy storage.
Since the battery energy storage does not participate in the system frequency regulation directly, the task of frequency regulation of conventional thermal power units is aggravated, which weakens the ability of system frequency regulation.
Hence, the power of the battery energy storage station can be used for power compensation in the initial stage of system power shortage. If the power provided by the battery energy storage station is insufficient, the frequency regulation power required by the conventional thermal power unit is as follows :
Aiming at the problems of low climbing rate and slow frequency response of thermal power units, this paper proposes a method and idea of using large-scale energy storage battery to respond to the frequency change of grid system and constructs a control strategy and scheme for energy storage to coordinate thermal power frequency regulation.
The fuzzy theory approach was used to study the frequency regulation strategy of battery energy storage in the literature, and an economic efficiency model for frequency regulation of battery energy storage was also established. Literature proposes a method for fast frequency regulation of battery based on the amplitude phase-locked loop.
