Limited Energy Reservoirs: analysis of the proposed methodology for opening Frequency Containment Reserve to energy storage in EU
EU Network Codes are encouraging power system
operators to integrate nonconventional generation units in the
evolving Ancillary Services Markets. Article 156 of System
Operation Guidelines requests TSOs to perform a cost-benefit
analysis for defining a minimum delivery time period for
Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) provided by units with
Limited Energy Reservoirs (LER). A research group in
Politecnico di Milano followed the process closely cooperating
with ARERA, the Italian Regulatory Authority. This paper aims
at describing in depth the methodology proposed by TSOs for
analyzing system costs related to the introduction of a certain
share of LER among FCR providers. Some qualitative and
quantitative investigations are then proposed. Critical aspects of
the methodology proposed by TSOs are described. The impact
on energy storage of the differences among countries’ way of
providing FCR is highlighted
