Ensuring Stability in Electric Power Systems: A Study on Frequency Containment and Load Control

on



In the rapidly evolving energy landscape, maintaining the stability of Electric Power Systems (EPS) is a critical challenge. A recent study examines the compatibility of Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) and Load Frequency Control (LFC) functions, focusing on their roles in desynchronized operations, island mode stability, and synchronization with larger grids like Continental Europe.

Key insights include:

  1. Stability in Isolation: The study highlights the importance of maintaining active power reserves to prevent disruptions such as Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) during isolated operation.
  2. Technical Requirements: The research outlines prequalification procedures and performance criteria for reserve-providing units, ensuring they can respond effectively to frequency and voltage disturbances.
  3. Operational Guidelines: The findings emphasize robust guidelines for deploying FCR and LFC reserves to stabilize system frequency within seconds of deviations.

By using numerical simulations, this research offers actionable strategies to harmonize technical requirements and enhance the reliability of EPS during dynamic conditions. As renewable energy integration and grid decentralization accelerate, these insights are pivotal for ensuring secure and efficient power system operations.
