Decentralized grid control

 

Abstract:

An electric power supply with 100% renewable energies will be based on decentralized small generators and less large power plants. Thus, the decentralized small generators must provide grid control. This contribution presents solutions to replace rotating masses for momentary reserve and providing primary reserve power with fluctuating generation as well as with battery storages.
