Case study analysis of a new frequency response service designed for energy storage. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are expected to play a significant role in regulating the frequency of future electric power systems.
Whilst the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (“BEIS”) and Ofgem have been supportive of energy storage and recognise the benefits and flexibility provided by the various technologies, there is no specific legislation on or regulation of storage at present.
As per NEP2023 the energy storage capacity requirement is projected to be 16.13 GW (7.45 GW PSP and 8.68 GW BESS) in year 2026-27, with a storage capacity of 82.32 GWh (47.6 GWh from PSP and 34.72 GWh from BESS).
. The value of energy storage systems (ESS) to provide fast frequency response has been more and more recognized. Although the development of energy storage technologies has made ESSs technically feasible to be integrated in larger scale with required performance
. New frequency regulation services are emerging aiming to take full utilization of the ESS advantages. The major task of this paper is to review the existing grid connection requirements applicable to ESSs, as well as the emerg ng f quency response services demanding fast resp
3.3. CEA has projected that by the year 2047, the requirement of energy storage is expected to increase to 320 GW (90GW PSP and 230 GW BESS) with a storage capacity of 2,380 GWh (540 GWh from PSP and 1,840 GWh from BESS) due to the addition of a larger amount of renewable energy in light of the net zero emissions targets set for 2070.
