Abstract
In this paper, the effect of a battery energy storage system (BESS) as a spinning reserve is considered to control the frequency of a ‎microgrid consisting of a diesel generator, photovoltaic, BESS, and electrical loads. In this stand-alone microgrid, the output power of ‎diesel generators and the BESS are subject to variations to compensate for power fluctuations caused by the load and output power of ‎photovoltaic. Therefore, secondary control, in addition to the primary control, has been proposed to deal with frequency deviation and ‎accelerate the operation of spinning reserve. The scheme is simulated in a hybrid power plant, where results show the effectiveness of the ‎secondary control on frequency deviation damping of the microgrid, thus improving dynamic stability.
