Can large-scale battery energy storage systems participate in system frequency regulation?
In the end, a control framework for large-scale battery energy storage systems jointly with thermal power units to participate in system frequency regulation is constructed, and the proposed frequency regulation strategy is studied and analyzed in the EPRI-36 node model.
Since the battery energy storage does not participate in the system frequency regulation directly, the task of frequency regulation of conventional thermal power units is aggravated, which weakens the ability of system frequency regulation.
The results of the study show that the proposed battery frequency regulation control strategies can quickly respond to system frequency changes at the beginning of grid system frequency fluctuations, which improves the stability of the new power system frequency including battery energy storage.
Aiming at the problems of low climbing rate and slow frequency response of thermal power units, this paper proposes a method and idea of using large-scale energy storage battery to respond to the frequency change of grid system and constructs a control strategy and scheme for energy storage to coordinate thermal power frequency regulation.
