- Abstract
- Large increase in wind and photovoltaics will lead to lower and more volatile grid inertia but also to the lack of primary frequency control, i.e. frequency containment reserve (FCR) providers in the Continental Europe Grid. This will therefore impact negatively the frequency dynamics. One potential solution for ensuring the frequency to stay in reasonable bounds is to take the dynamics of potential providers into consideration. From this observation, we develop a novel methodology for having a linear programming problem to select the most suited FCR providers. It is based on the minimization of the overall cost while respecting static and dynamic constraints which are respectively ensuring a sufficient amount of FCR and avoiding too large frequency deviations after a large disturbance. The methodology has been tested on a case with 200 potential FCR providers in function of various grid inertia and load damping factors.
