Inclusion of frequency control constraints in energy system investment modeling
RENEWABLE ENERGY(2021)
Abstract
This study investigates how the inclusion of frequency control constraints in electricity system modeling impacts the levels of investment and dispatch in electricity generation and storage technologies for futures that include high-level penetration of variable renewable energy. This is achieved using a linear cost-minimizing investment and dispatch model using historic load, wind and solar conditions from Spain, Ireland, Sweden and Hungary for Year 2050. With an hourly time-resolution, constraints are added so as to ensure that, within each hour, sufficient inertial power and reserves are available to control the frequency of the power grid. Comparing the results obtained with and without these constraints reveals that the main impacts on the results are from battery investments and operation. Furthermore, it is found that the reserve requirements exert a greater impact on system composition and operation than do the inertial power requirements. (c) 2021 The Authors.
