Frequency Regulation (or just “regulation”) ensures the balance of electricity supply and demand at all times, particularly over time frames from seconds to minutes. When supply exceeds demand the electric grid frequency increases and vice versa. It is an automatic change in active power output in response to a frequency change.

Learn MoreIn 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.
With the gradual increase of energy storage equipment in the power grid, the situation of system frequency drop will become more and more serious. In this case, energy storage equipment integrated into the grid also needs to play the role of assisting conventional thermal power units to participate in the system frequency regulation.
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.
Assuming that the bid FR power of each ES unit is its rated power in the regional power grid.
The traditional approach to frequency control in power grids involves approximating the system as a linear model based on a specific operating condition without taking into account the dynamics of the generators.
However, this study considered numerous load perturbation profiles like, step load disruptions (SLD) (,) series SLD, and random load disruptions (RLD) which represent the forced outage of power plants or high change on the load demand.
