| Abstract |
The intermittency of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation creates challenges for the frequency control which raises the need of employing fast acting reserves e.g., Battery Energy storage systems (BESS) to improve the system frequency response. This paper explores the concept of orientational smoothing together with frequency control of the deloaded PV systems to improve self-balancing, reduce reliance on battery energy storage systems (BESS), and ensure more consistent availability of regulation reserves. The methodology involves EMT-type simulations for 7 different cases of distributed PV orientations. These cases are studied for three different frequency control scenarios of a microgrid. The results demonstrate that PV systems with real rooftop and east-west orientations exhibit reduced frequency deviations and rate of change of frequency. |
