FAQS about Frequency regulation of Nordic energy storage power stations

Is power system frequency stability at risk in the Nordic power system?

LUCAS THOMÉE, 2018. With increased integration of converter connected production, decommission of nu-clear power plants in Sweden, reduction in frequency dependent loads, and increased import through HVDC links, the power system frequency stability in the Nordic power system is at risk.

How many frequency control products are there in the Nordic power system?

At present there are five frequency control products in use in the Nordic power system. A short description of each product is given below. The Frequency Containment Reserve for Normal Operation (FCR-N) is linearly activated within the standard frequency range 49.9 –50.1 Hz.

How is energy management performed in the Nordic power system?

In the Nordic power system, energy management could be generally performed though an adjustment of the operating point. This refers to the reference power at a frequency of 50 Hz. Changing the reference power allows to, on average, charge or discharge the battery in order to restore the reserves.

What is a Nordic power system?

The Nordic power system is designed for a nominal frequency of 50 Hz, however, the actual frequency always fluctuates around the nominal value depending on the imbalance between production and consumption. When there is more electricity production than consumption the frequency will start to increase and vice versa.

What is the normal frequency range in the Nordic power system?

Normal state is shown in green, Alert state in yellow and Emergency state in red. In the Nordic power system the standard frequency range is 50 Hz ±100 mHz. During large imbalance events the frequency is allowed to transiently deviate ±1000 mHz for up to 60 seconds, after which the frequency has to settle within ±500 mHz.

What frequency does load shedding start in the Nordic power system?

However, in the Nordic power system load shedding will commence at 49.0 Hz and this level can be used as minimum acceptable transient frequency level . Inertial response is followed by primary frequency regulation, where both FCR-N and FCR-D are active.
