TL;DRAbstract

Recently, in the UK’s National Electricity Transmission System (NETS), considerable concerns have been raised over the lack of inertia as renewable incentives/targets are rapidly driving future energy mixes towards wind power. Slowly but surely, greater pressures have forced the UK’s Transmission System Operator (TSO), the National Grid Electricity Transmission plc (NGET), to accommodate for weaker sources of inertia, whilst endeavouring to maintain their own system frequency under severe events, in accordance with the Security and Quality of Supply Standard (SQSS) [1]. When predicting the NETS’ frequency response in the so called 2020 “gone green” era [2], the NGET’s Frequency Response Working Group (FRWG) (and various other working groups), developed grid representative models using the Dynamic System Model Approach (DSMA), to predict frequency excursions under a lowered average system inertia. These models were excessively simplified and provided a theoretical estimate on how freque
