4 FAQs about Inertial energy storage equipment

Which energy storage technology provides inertia for power systems?

With a weighted score of 4.3, flywheels (with lithium–ion batteries a close second) appear as the most suitable energy storage technology to provide inertia for power systems.

Are energy storage systems suitable for inertia provision?

Although a wide array of energy storage systems has emerged in recent years to fulfill different grid services, not all are suitable for inertia provision (Farhadi and Mohammed, 2015). Among these options, high-power storage systems can best emulate inertia in power grids (Alsaidan et al., 2017).

Should energy storage be a virtual inertial course?

Incorporating energy storage as a virtual inertial course would require fundamental changes in grid operations and market design. Because grid rotational inertia is considered an inherent property of power generation, there is no market mechanism to include inertia generation as an ancillary service.

Are energy storage technologies a viable alternative to inertia?

Energy storage technologies have emerged as a viable alternative to providing inertia through virtual inertia, i.e. inertia generated or simulated with power electronics and controls (Zhao and Ding, 2018, Zhang et al., 2019, Fang et al., 2017a).
