Incorporating energy storage as a virtual inertial course would require fundamental changes in grid operations and market design. Because grid rotational inertia is considered an inherent property of power generation, there is no market mechanism to include inertia generation as an ancillary service.
Energy storage technologies have emerged as a viable alternative to providing inertia through virtual inertia, i.e. inertia generated or simulated with power electronics and controls (Zhao and Ding, 2018, Zhang et al., 2019, Fang et al., 2017a).
Inertia emulation accordingly needs to account for the specifics of the underlying energy storage technology. Following a framework previously proposed in the literature (Yu et al., 2020, Fang et al., 2017b), we start the derivation for the virtual inertia coefficient H for each ESS.
Inertia is an intrinsic property of power systems that stabilizes the grid frequency and introduces a relationship between frequency and the balance of power supply and demand. Previously, synchronous generators and induction motors were directly connected to the power grid and were the main source of inertia (Shi et al., 2019, Lin et al., 2022).
Additionally, alternative ESS such as flywheel and compressed-air energy storage also have been proven to supply inertia emulation (Yang et al., 2021, Mucci et al., 2021, Terlouw et al., 2019).
