The utilisation of synthetic inertia enables

BES systems to be dispatched for grid support

 

BES systems are a renewable energy source that is becoming more cost-effective and easier to integrate on a distributed basis. We recently published a white paper on international BES trends, and in it we touched on grid support.

In this white paper, we explore further how BES systems can be dispatched for grid support. We cover:smartmockups_lbtxpa7m

  • The importance of grid stability - a stable electricity grid is one where equilibrium is maintained
  • Renewable energy generation and its effect on grid stability - renewable energy sources are intermittent
  • Grid codes - they're there to ensure a reliable and stable grid
  • How BES systems can assist with grid stability - new elements and functionality to ensure a more reliable system as the grid loses inertia associated with traditional generation methods
  • Static converters and synthetic inertia - how they ensure system stability and reliability
  • Voltage Source Inverter (VISMA) - how this control helps the inverter to mimic the behaviour of a synchronous generator
  • The effects of electrical and thermal limits on inverter performance
  • Freemaq PCSK - Power Electronics’ inverter for BES solutions

This is a technical white paper aimed at explaining the value of BES systems for grid stability.
