As a new type of flexible regulatory resource with a bidirectional regulation function [3, 4], energy storage (ES) has attracted more attention in participation in automatic generation control (AGC). It also has become essential to the future frequency regulation auxiliary service market .
With the rapid expansion of new energy, there is an urgent need to enhance the frequency stability of the power system. The energy storage (ES) stations make it possible effectively. However, the frequency regulation (FR) demand distribution ignores the influence caused by various resources with different characteristics in traditional strategies.
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.
The fuzzy theory approach was used to study the frequency regulation strategy of battery energy storage in the literature , and an economic efficiency model for frequency regulation of battery energy storage was also established. Literature proposes a method for fast frequency regulation of battery based on the amplitude phase-locked loop.
