With a weighted score of 4.3, flywheels (with lithium–ion batteries a close second) appear as the most suitable energy storage technology to provide inertia for power systems.
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.
In the paper, from a perspective of system inertia support, a guidance of allocating energy storages optimally is provided together with a projected gradient calculation descent method for optimizing ℋ 2 -norm.
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 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).
The allocation of energy storages for providing virtual inertia will not change radically the frequency trends in transient process, but the appropriate allocation of virtual inertia can improve the transient performance.
