EE1200 : Frequency Regulation & Ancillary Services

This practical and highly-interactive course includes
various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt
will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a
detailed and up-to-date overview of Frequency Regulation
& Ancillary Services. It covers the power system
frequency, basics of power system dynamics, swing
equation and frequency response; the types of frequency
control, load-frequency control (LFC) and ancillary
services; the governor control mechanisms, primary
frequency control and secondary frequency control
(AGC); the area control error (ACE), frequency control in
multi-area systems and performance metrics for
frequency control; and the ancillary services, spinning
reserve and fast response.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the
non-spinning and supplemental reserves, market-based
ancillary services and frequency regulation markets; the
role of system operators (ISO/TSO), impact of renewable
energy on frequency and energy storage in frequency
regulation; the demand response in frequency control,
synthetic inertia, grid-forming inverters and wide-area
monitoring for frequency stability; the advanced control
techniques, implementation of ancillary services and
performance evaluation and optimization; and the high
renewable penetration grids, decentralized energy
systems, AI-driven grid control and digital twin
applications.
