The electricity system has to balance demand and supply every second, a task that is becoming evermore challenging due to the increased penetration of renewable energy sources and subsequent inertial levels. In the UK, a number of grid frequency support services are available, which are developed to provide a real-time response to changes in the grid frequency. The National Grid Electricity Transmission...
Balancing the grid at 50 Hz requires managing many distributed generation sources against a varying load, which is becoming an increasingly challenging task due to the increased penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar and loss of traditional generation which provide inertia to the system. In the UK, various frequency support services are available, which are developed to provide...
In the UK power system, there is currently no battery energy storage system (BESS) for providing grid-scale frequency response. However, according to the UK future energy plan, with a high penetration of renewable energy sources, battery technologies have become increasingly attractive to provide firm frequency response (FFR). This paper estimates the current and future balancing requirement of National...
The penetration level of the renewable energy resources (RER), such as wind power turbines and solar photovoltaic generation, in interconnected power systems has been increased in many countries. A high penetration level of RERs causes some problems to the grid operator, e.g., lack in primary reserve. Due to environmental concern and energy security risk, many countries around the world decided to...
The penetration level of renewable energy resources such as wind and photovoltaic in power systems is increasing. The intermittent nature of such resources introduces challenges for frequency and voltage regulation. On the other hand, with increasing the presence of EVs in the future grids and their charging/discharging management can provide ancillary services, such as frequency regulation to the...
