Abstract
One of the challenges in electric power systems
with a high penetration of renewable generation is the
provision of ancillary services. Traditionally these services
have been provided by conventional generation, but as power
from renewable sources (wind and PV) displaces conventional
generation, new providers of ancillary services are needed.
Frequency regulation is critical because fluctuating energy
sources increase the need for this service. At very high levels
of renewable penetration, all available frequency regulation
services will be called on, including demand-side resources.
Electric loads that provide thermal energy services are
attractive because their heat capacity allows electric power
consumption to be moved in time without degrading the
quality of service. This concept is being demonstrated in
field tests on the island of Bornholm, Denmark.
