Assessing the Technical Potential of Fast Frequency Response in Grid-Supportive Loads

Research output: NRELPoster

Abstract

Fast frequency response (FFR) is a critical tool for grid operators to manage contingency events in low-inertia systems. While large generators and loads are more commonly used, many smaller end use loads, in aggregate, can provide FFR across a large system. This work considers the technical potential of power electronics-based loads for autonomous FFR in low-inertia grids. We consider multiple factors that might influence the impact of FFR for various end use loads, with a focus on residential loads.
