Abstract
Frequency excursions on electrical power systems are traditionally controlled using governors on central, often steam driven, generators. However, if the proportion of steam driven plant is reduced, there is a need to provide frequency response by other means. Distributed frequency response is under-utilised; this is partly because it is difficult for system operators to schedule demand side frequency response capability and verify its operation. Smart meters provide a means to overcome these difficulties, if the meters have an adequate hardware specification. A scheme to enable System Operators to specify demand side frequency response, become aware of its availability and verify its operation is put forward. A model is developed in which demand side frequency response operation is verified using `Frequency Response Verification Packets' (FRVPs) - data packets created by smart meters that quantify changes in demand following a detected frequency excursion. The model is used to simulate a situation where 20% of all domestic washing machines in Britain can pause for 30 minutes following a frequency excursion. For a frequency deviation at 1830 hrs on a weekday in the month of March, 291778 FRVPs were created (corresponding to 135 MW total demand reduction within 2 seconds of the frequency excursion).
