Abstract
Short-term frequency instability is one of the major concerns in power systems with high percentage of converter-interfaced renewable energy sources. Energy storage system (ESS) has proven to be a viable solution for the problem of short-term frequency instability by fast frequency response (FFR). However, the appropriate location, size, and operating strategy of ESS are the main challenges for FFR. Power injection at some buses in large grids may lead to angular separation and instability. In addition, oversizing ESS could lead to huge investments without appropriate returns and under sizing may jeopardizes grid stability. Capacity estimation of ESS for FFR considering the suitable location and overall deployment strategies are missing in the current literature for large power grids. Hence, this research proposes a technique to place and size ESS for better FFR in power grids. The proposed technique consists of two steps. In the first step, a methodology based on frequency dynamic signature (FDS) is developed to identify the most suitable location. In the second step, the required capacity of the ESS is estimated based on a step reduction iterative algorithm (SRIA). SRIA and FDS consider the complete dynamics of power system components that affect the frequency dynamics of the system. The proposed methodology is thoroughly verified for various operating conditions in IEEE 39-bus using DIgSILENT PowerFactory.
