Frequency control adequacy for increasing levels of variable generation

The integration of signi cant levels of variable generation into the electricity grid has increased the complexity of power system operations. The
strong unpredictability of variable generation poses an important operating
complexity and demands an adequate dimensioning and deployment of system reserves. This work establishes su cient conditions for the dimensioning
and deployment of adequate reserves. These conditions involve the determi-
nation of reserve requirements and the design of a frequency control system
consistent with such requirements. The analysis is divided into the adequacy
of primary and secondary reserves, and simulations of ERCOT validated by
empirical data are considered. Adequacy criteria from current practices are
used to evaluate the performance of the formulation. / text
