Abstract

Integration of renewable energy sources into power systems often poses challenges in system stability, particularly frequency stability. Excessive frequency fluctuations can lead to disruptions in the electrical grid, causing equipment damage and system failures. Therefore, precise control mechanisms are essential to maintain frequency stability. In this research, redox flow batteries (RFB) are utilized as frequency regulation systems in a two-area power system with low inertia. The research analyzes the impact of photovoltaic solar integration on a two-area power system and evaluates the use of virtual inertia control based on redox flow batteries for frequency stability enhancement using Matlab Simulink. This study analyzes the effect of solar power integration on a two-area power system and the use of virtual inertia control (VIC) based on redox flow batteries (RFB) on system frequency stability. Three case studies were conducted in this research. The first case is a two-area power system with a 0.3 p.u. load change in area 1. Case 2 is the system in case 1 with the addition of PV in area 1, and case 3 is the system in case 1 with the addition of virtual inertia control based on redox flow batteries. In the analysis result, the integration of PV in the system causes a significant frequency spike, with the nadir frequency in area 1 reaching 61.57 Hz. While the addition of RFB-based VIC can reduce the impact of PV integration and maintain frequency stability with the nadir frequency in area 1 at 60.21 Hz.
