| Summary: | The integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid poses considerable issues in
terms of frequency stability due to their inherent intermittency. Traditional Load Frequency
Control (LFC) systems, which rely on traditional generating technologies, sometimes struggle
to handle rapid swings in power supply and demand. This Final Year Report investigates the
unique use of Energy Storage Systems (ESS) in LFC to improve grid reliability and
performance. By utilizing the quick response capabilities and flexibility of ESS, we offer an
enhanced LFC framework that dynamically balances load and frequency, minimizing the
implications of renewable energy variability. Through extensive simulation and analysis, the
research reveals how ESS may effectively support LFC by providing immediate power
reserves, lowering reliance on fossil fuel-based ancillary services, and supporting a more
sustainable energy infrastructure. The findings highlight the potential of ESS-enhanced LFC
in building a resilient and efficient power grid, paving the path for greater use of renewable
energy and a more sustainable future. |
