This paper proposes a control technique to provide the contribution of wind power generators to primary frequency regulation in electric power systems. The kinetic energy kept by wind generators is used to temporarily modulate their power delivery for contributing to the grid frequency regulation. The control parameters are suitably tuned in...

This paper proposes a control framework for allowing domestic thermostatically controlled loads, such as refrigerators and electric water heaters, to provide synthetic inertia and primary frequency regulation services. The basic idea is to modify the standard thermostat logic as a function of local measurements of the grid frequency, using a...

The aim of this paper is the technical-economic assessment of the performance of the contribution of aggregated domestic thermostatic loads, as refrigerators and water heaters, to primary frequency regulation. The impact of a flexible management of this class of loads to the frequency control activities are evaluated in a power grid on a...

This paper deals with the control of aggregated domestic thermostatic loads, as refrigerators and water heaters, in order to provide an effective support to the primary frequency regulation, without compromising the secondary frequency regulation and the customer comfort. The analyzed control strategies are those defined by ENTSO-E and three...
