Adaptive Frequency Response Reserve based on Real-time System Inertia (2101.05717v1)

Abstract: To ensure adequate and economic reserve for primary frequency response in the current and future power system, this paper proposes real-time frequency response reserve (FRR) requirement based on system inertia. This minimum FRR will help power system operators adjust the current frequency response requirement and accommodate more renewable generations while achieving a saving of both energy and facility costs. Most importantly, the ability to adaptively vary the FRR will provide the additional agility, resiliency, and reliability to the grid.
