Frequency response services designed for energy storage

Frequency is a crucial parameter in an AC electric power system. Deviations from the nominal frequency are a consequence of imbalances between supply and demand; an excess of generation yields an increase in frequency, while an excess of demand results in a decrease in frequency [1].The power mismatch is, in the first instance, balanced by changes in
