Abstract EN
During the last few years generation from renewable energy sources (RESs) has grown considerably in European electrical networks.
Transmission system operators are greatly concerned about the impact of RESs on the operational security and efficiency of their networks and more in general of the ENTSO-E interconnected system.
Grid codes are to be revised in order to harmonise the rules regarding the connection of RES power plants.
A main issue concerns frequency control: frequency is greatly affected by RESs intermittency and its deviations must be limited as much as possible in order to guarantee a suitable level of power quality.
To improve frequency stability, in the future, Grid codes could extend frequency control requirements also to RES units, whereas today they are applied only to conventional power plants.
Energy storage systems can be a possible solution to increase the flexibility and performance of RES power plants: they allow generators to modulate their power injections without wasting renewable energy.
In this paper, the authors studied the suitability of extending frequency control to RES units integrating them with energy storage systems.
In particular, the paper focuses on the impact of frequency control on the storage lifetime by analysing the power charge/discharge in response to real frequency oscillations.
