The coupling coordinated frequency regulation control strategy of thermal power unit-flywheel energy storage system is designed to give full play to the advantages of flywheel energy storage system, improve the frequency regulation effect and effectively slow down the action of thermal power unit.
Frequency regulation energy storage offers significant advantages including improved grid reliability, enhanced renewable energy integration, cost savings, and environmental benefits.
However, the introduction of such system has been very slow due to its high capital costs. Therefore, the economic benefit of a lithium ion battery energy storage system used for frequency regulation in a utility company is analyzed.
However, using energy storage alone for frequency regulation would require an unreasonably large energy storage capacity. Duration curves for energy capacity and instantaneous ramp rate are used to evaluate the requirements and benefits of using energy storage for a component of frequency regulation.

Energy storage, particularly battery energy storage systems (BESS), plays a crucial role in frequency regulation by offering several key benefits: Rapid Response Capability: Energy storage systems can quickly adjust to changes in grid frequency, providing fast and precise responses to fluctuations.

Response Mode Incorporating SOC Energy storage devices are capable of significantly improving the system’s equivalent inertia and damping via virtual inertia and droop control, thereby improving grid frequency response performance. However, in real-world scenarios, the capacity of energy storage systems is subject to inherent limitations.
Various advanced ESS have emerged, including battery energy storage system (BESS) , super-capacitor , flywheel , superconducting magnetic energy storage . These systems are interconnected with the power grid to facilitate the penetration of renewable energy and to address frequency and peak regulation demand.
However, in real-world scenarios, the capacity of energy storage systems is subject to inherent limitations. Using the maximum droop coefficient in both charge and discharge modes during the initial frequency control phase can easily cause the SOC of the energy storage device to exceed its operational limits.
