Lackner, Christoph; Nguyen, Tu A.; Byrne, Raymond H.; Wiegandt, Frank

The increased penetration of renewable resources has made frequency regulation and generation control a growing concern. This has created an opportunity for Energy Storage Resource to participate in the frequency regulation market. This paper investigates the potential of Battery Energy Storage systems to participate in the German secondary frequency regulation market. A simulation model is developed to investigate the revenue opportunity of a 48 MWh Battery System participating in the secondary frequency regulation market.
