A method for formulating system frequency response (SFR) model-derived frequency indexes into optimum framework of sizing energy storage systems (ESSs) that participate in frequency control in power systems is presented. A novel simplified SFR model, approximating frequency and governor responses with quadratic and linear functions respectively, is first developed, leading to a fast and accurate computation...
Maintaining grid frequency close to the nominal value is one of the fundamental objectives of electric power operations. In this paper, we develop a decentralized control algorithm to improve the frequency response in case of sudden loss of generation in an interconnected grid. We propose a Cyber-Physical Architecture that requires minimal information exchange between control areas to reduce the frequency...
This paper presents a simple controller to enable the inertial response of utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS). Details of the BESS modeling are presented in this paper. The main contribution of this paper is to demonstrate that inertial controller in BESS help to reduce change to the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF), providing frequency support and improving the system frequency...
Electrical Power systems are going through a transition of increasing penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and growing transmission capacity between Asynchronous Areas (TBAA). Maintaining a reliable power balance is essential but most new RES and TBAA are not delivering Primary Frequency Controlled Reserves (PFCR) and not enhancing power systems Frequency Response Characteristics β. The issue...
Isolated grid (IG) usually has small inertia constant, and the primary frequency regulation ability of IG is limited. In addition, high penetration level of photovoltaic power plants (PV-PPS)integrated to IG deteriorate system inertial and primary frequency regulation ability. To ensure the stability of frequency, UC model considering dynamic frequency limit (DFL) is proposed in this paper, and PV-PPS...
The present paper presents an analytical model for the evaluation of short-term frequency response in isolated power grids with increasing penetration of renewable energy sources. The analysis includes synthetic inertia and primary frequency control schemes proposed in the literature for wind power plants. Thus, frequency response in future insular scenarios can be estimated. The analytical model...
This paper presents an operation strategy for microgrids to provide inertial and frequency response using the kinetic energy stored in their induction motor (IM) loads. This is achieved by actively controlling the microgrid electrical frequency in systems that connect to the network through an asynchronous link. The strategy is demonstrated to provide an inertial response to disturbances inside a...
This paper presents an analysis of the simplified model of the Great Britain (GB) power system for 2030 projections. Electric Vehicles (EVs), Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and Fly-Wheel Energy Storage System (FESS) are connected in the primary frequency control loop. PD -like Fuzzy Logic controller (PDFLC) is used as a secondary frequency control as well as the classical PID controller for...
Micro-grids (MGs) are active networks known as an effective solution for the control of grids including high levels of Distributed Generation (DG). In off-grid MGs, DGs connected to Voltage Source Inverters (VSIs) enroll as controllers of voltage and frequency. These VSIs should share power between the DGs fairly. A precise power sharing may increase frequency drop. In this paper, a trade-off is obtained...
Grid integration of wind power plants is complicated by a number of issues, primarily related to wind variability and the electrical characteristics of wind generators. Frequency control is a particularly significant issue with high levels of wind and solar penetration. A typical wind plant appears to the grid as a substantially different generation source than a conventional power plant. A significant...
This paper considers a multiple-DG microgrid connected to the main grid at a point of common coupling (PCC) via a static switch. The DGs in the microgrid can be connected in series and parallel as well. Each DG can also be operated in unit power control (UPC) mode or feeder flow control (FFC) mode. In this paper the active power and frequency response in the microgrid with respect to different configurations...
This paper compares the methods that have been used to control frequency in the recently deregulated power system in Sri Lanka with the highly deregulated power system in Great Britain. Also it presents the proposed methods found from a literature survey that use demand side support for frequency control. It also emphasises the need of commercial and demand side arrangements in frequency control in...
Class D amplifiers are becoming the most feasible solution for embedded audio application. However, distortions due to the non-linear nature of switching stage are the main drawback for this amplifier topology. This paper discusses the design and implementation of high fidelity audio class D using sliding mode control scheme. This design method proves to be a cost effective solution for industrial...
