Frequency Control Ancillary Services Is Australia a Model Market for Renewable Integration?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aspects of Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS) in the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) are discussed. Several aspects are identified as being relatively unique and beneficial for the integration of large quantities of variable renewables. These include fully dynamic setting of regulation reserves based upon real-time measurement of the time error, a sophisticated ‘causer pays’ mechanism for recovery of regulation costs, and a primary frequency response market that requires full response within six seconds. These aspects of FCAS in the Australian NEM may be able to serve as an effective model for other markets seeking to integrate higher quantities of variable renewables.

Due to uncertain nature of wind and photovoltaic power units, the participation of this units in electricity markets is subjected to significant deviation penalties. This issue leads to despondency or even admission of these units in the competitive environment. With regard to this fact that the low deviations are available when predictions are performed in a short-term horizon and also distrib...
