Use Energy Storage for Primary Frequency Control in Power Grids (2101.05165v2)
Published 13 Jan 2021 in eess.SY and cs.SY
Abstract: Frequency stability of power systems becomes more vulnerable with the increase of solar photovoltaic (PV). Energy storage provides an option to mitigate the impact of high PV penetration. Using the U.S. Eastern Interconnection (EI) and Texas Interconnection (ERCOT) power grid models, this paper investigates the capabilities of using energy storage to improve frequency response under high PV penetration. The study result helps to identify the potential and impact factors in utilizing energy storage to improve frequency response in high renewable penetration power grids.
