The operation and the development of power system networks introduce new types of stability problems. The effect of the power generation and consumption on the frequency of the power system can be described as a demand/generation imbalance resulting from a sudden increase/decrease in the demand and/or generation. This paper investigates the impact of a loss of generation on the transient behaviour of the power grid frequency. A simplified power system model is proposed to examine the impact of change of the main generation system parameters (system inertia, governor droop setting, load damping constant, and the high-pressure steam turbine power fraction), on the primary frequency response in responding to the disturbance of a 1.32 GW generation loss on the UK power grid. Various rates of primary frequency responses are simulated via adjusting system parameters of the synchronous generators to enable the controlled generators providing a fast-reliable primary frequency response within 10 s after a loss of generation. It is concluded that a generation system inertia and a governor droop setting are the most dominant parameters that effect the system frequency response after a loss of generation. Therefore, for different levels of generation loss, the recovery rate will be dependent on the changes of the governor droop setting values. The proposed model offers a fundamental basis for a further investigation to be carried on how a power system will react during a secondary frequency response.

As the battery energy storage system (BESS) has been considered to be a solution to the diminished performance of frequency response in the Korean power system, in which renewable energy resources (RESs) are expected to increase rapidly, this paper proposes a control strategy for providing both the virtual inertia and primary frequency response considering the MW-scale BESS installed by the Korea Electricity Power Corporation (KEPCO). The benefit of such a fast and flexible BESS can be maximized by the proposed control strategy for making it provide both the inertia and primary frequency response, which would be deficit with the increased RES. In the proposed control strategy, the state of charge (SOC) is maintained in the specific range in which the life cycle is maximized, the interference of SOC recovery by frequency control is minimized, the responding capacity for providing the virtual inertia response is maximized during the transient period, and the performance requirements for frequency response are satisfied. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified by both Korean power system model-based simulation and on-site operations.
