control, which can reduce the frequency nadir to 49,86 Hz.
The steady-state frequency of without BESS scenario and IR
control only of the BESS scenario is 49.8 Hz, which coincides
with the steady-state frequency limit. With IR control only,
BESS will reduce the RoCoF value, which is correspondence
to the system inertia response, so the deviation of steady-state
frequency is not decreased. When the control of BESS
includes PFR control, the deviation of steady-state frequency
will be decreased because of the addition of power injected by
PFR control in BESS. The steady-state frequency of with PFR
control only of the BESS scenario and with IR and PFR
controls of the BESS scenario is 49.89 Hz.
The RoCoF simulation result, as shown in TABLE III and
Fig. 6, is calculated by using the backward difference
approximation from the frequency response, as shown in Fig.
