Overview and Prospect of Primary Frequency Modulation Technology for Thermal Power Units in the Context of Large-Scale Grid Connection of Renewable Energy
With the transformation of the global energy mix and the further implementation of sustainable development strategies,the large-scale grid connection of renewable energy(such as wind power,photovoltaic,etc.)has become an important trend in the development of power systems.However,the intermittency and volatility of renewable energy have brought great challenges to the stable operation of the power grid,and have put forward higher requirements for the rapid response capability of thermal power units,especially the primary frequency modulation capability.This paper first introduces the challenges and current status of primary frequency modulation technology for thermal power units,then describes the existing new auxiliary primary frequency modulation technologies,and proposes future development trends.
