Get StartedThe frequency regulation power optimization framework for multiple resources is proposed. The cost, revenue, and performance indicators of hybrid energy storage during the regulation process are analyzed. The comprehensive efficiency evaluation system of energy storage by evaluating and weighing methods is established.
Therefore, a multi-type energy storage (ES) configuration method considering State of Charge (SOC) partitioning and frequency regulation performance matching is proposed for primary frequency regulation. Firstly, the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) signal is decomposed and reconstructed using the variational mode decomposition (VMD) method.
With the rapid expansion of new energy, there is an urgent need to enhance the frequency stability of the power system. The energy storage (ES) stations make it possible effectively. However, the frequency regulation (FR) demand distribution ignores the influence caused by various resources with different characteristics in traditional strategies.
As a new type of flexible regulatory resource with a bidirectional regulation function [3, 4], energy storage (ES) has attracted more attention in participation in automatic generation control (AGC). It also has become essential to the future frequency regulation auxiliary service market .
This paper develops a three-step process to assess the resource-adequacy contribution of energy storage that provides frequency regulation. First, we use discretized stochastic dynamic optimization to derive decision policies that tradeoff between different energy-storage applications.
Frequency regulation in power system In power systems, frequency is the continuously changing variable which is influenced by the power generation and demand. A generation deficit results in frequency reduction while surplus generation causes an increase in the frequency.
