Abstract:

This study investigates the mutual primary frequency modulation between flywheel energy storage and thermal power systems. The frequency modulation model for a thermal power unit with a flywheel energy storage system is established, and the model is verified using real-world frequency modulation operational data. The study proposes that during operations with small frequency differences, only the flywheel can perform adaptive virtual droop control, which allows the flywheel to track the theoretical frequency modulation while maintaining the state of charge of the flywheel within a reasonable range. Furthermore, under conditions involving long duration or frequent frequency modulation in the same direction with large or small frequency differences, the thermal power unit can handle a large amount of basic regulation, while the flywheel is responsible for managing minor fluctuation. Additionally, the flywheel system can provide feedback and adjustments to facilitate fast self-recovery.

Key words: mutual aid, primary frequency modulation, adaptive virtual droop control, regurgitation regulation
