Technical FAQs 4

Can battery energy storage systems provide synthetic inertia?

In this context, the present paper proposes a methodology for sizing battery energy storage systems (BESS) able to provide synthetic inertia, in replacement of the missing rotational inertia of the diesel generators.

Which energy storage technology provides inertia for power systems?

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.

Should energy storage be a virtual inertial course?

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.

What is inertia in power systems?

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).
