As low frequency is the result of insufficient generation, tripping a high level of inverter based systems would contribute to the problem and cause possible stability issues in response to a relatively minor disturbance. Appropriate interconnection standards, smart grid devices, and storage are all key elements of the solution.
Any inverter type generation established as frequency and/or voltage regulating or Var supportive will be reviewed under Section 7.6.12.5 requirements. DER threshold values shall be analyzed in aggregate where multiple DER projects are supplied from a single point of connection to the EPS.
There are several deployments of BESS for large-scale grid applications. One example is the Hornsdale Power Reserve, a 100 MW/129 MWh lithium-ion battery installation, the largest lithium-ion BESS in the world, which has been in operation in South Australia since December 2017.
