Abstract
Inverter Based Resources (IBRs) are becoming the majority in the energy mix leading to grid instabilities due to variable production. Hybrid Power Plants (HPPs) with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can provide frequency support increasing grid stability and reliability by participating in the Ancillary Service (AS) market. The capability of the HPP with PV, WT and BESS, to provide active power control is studied in this project using various scenarios. Firstly, complementing the mismatch between the forecasted and actual production with various battery sizes is dealt with. Thereafter, the provision of frequency AS, through BESS, when there is frequency deviation in the power system is validated. Lastly, the economic impact of negative spot prices is examined. This research provides an overview of the scope of some of the services that can be provided with different BESS sizes and the significance of the impact of the market conditions. Keywords: Active power regulation, HPP, Frequency AS, Power balance, BESS
