AB  - Efficiency and sustainability considerations have propelled changes in power and process industries. These changes, which include the increased electrification of process industries, are causing concerns about the reliability of future electricity supplies, and therefore motivate the need for a Smart Grid on an industrial scale. This paper presents a method by which process automation engineers can assess the suitability of an oil and gas plant to participate in power system frequency control services. This paper discusses the necessary specifications for an automated system that enables effective variable operation by analysing the safe operating envelope of the plant. To do that, this paper proposes a methodology to characterise the appropriate actuators, variables and limits of set-point change. This methodology is applied to a case study representing an oil processing facility. The resulting analysis indicates demand-side response capability that the facility can provide without jeopardising operations on-site.
