Power plant energy storage frequency regulation
Does battery energy storage participate in system frequency regulation? Combining the characteristics of slow response,stable power increase of thermal power units,and fast
The decision to phase out coal presents Kazakh-stan with an especially formidable challenge due to its complex social, economic, and energy security implications coupled with the traditional conserv-atism within the energy sector. However, the usual arguments in favour of coal power in Kazakhstan are gradually losing their relevance.
As already mentioned in the previous chapter, some existing coal-fired power plants could be used in Kazakhstan to increase flexibility so as to integrate more variable renewable power in the medium term.
In the next few years, Kazakhstan will have to make a choice between trying to maintain the existing structure of its electricity sector (and thus the status quo of its whole economy) at any cost, as one option, and pursuing a transition of its power sector from coal directly to renewables, as the other option.
However, the 'Concept for the develop-ment of the electric power industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2035' notes that the creation of an efective heat supply system would be made possible by increasing the share of thermal energy sources based on the use of renewables and alterna-tive energy sources.59 Kazakhstan therefore requires

Kazakhstan can minimise the overall costs of its power system while reducing the share of coal from the current level of 67% to 45% by 2030.
