Funding entity Gas y Electricidad Generación S.A

The aim of the project is to determine the characteristics of a battery storage system to reduce reserve requiremenets and improve frequency stability of the island power system of Menorca. The project will also show how the battery storage system associated to a conventional generator contributes to the fullfilments of the connection requirements of this generator. The project will finally show how the hybrid generator fits into the operational procedure and the economic regulation of the Spanish isolated systems.

Research topics:
• Isolated systems: islands, microgrids, off-grid
• Stability: large disturbance stability, tuning of frequency loadshedding schemes, excitation control, small disturbance stability, tuning of power system stabilizers, identification of AVR and governor models
