Abstract

 The advent of battery energy storage system(BESS) to power systems introduced many ancillary servicesthat make use of fast response of batteries. Frequency controlis one of the most important applications that aid stabilizingelectric networks. Secondary frequency control is one typeof frequency control that uses the BESS to supply/absorbnet power to bring the frequency deviation to its workinglimits. Renewable energy sources increasingly contribute to-wards utilization in microgrids for ancillary services, frequencycontrol for instance. The frequency deviation anomaly is moreprominent in case of adopting renewable energy sources, anda 30 MW wind power source is considered in this study alongwith the selected network in Saudi Arabia for analyzing theproper sizing of the BESS.
