TY  - JOUR
AB  - Flexibility in certain types of loads could be exploited to provide fast and controllable power reserve if the supply voltage/frequency is controlled using existing power electronic interfaces (e.g. motor drives) or additional ones like recently proposed Electric Springs. Such a load together with its power electronic interface forms a so called ‘smart load’. Effectiveness of static smart loads for primary frequency response provision has been shown in previous papers through case studies ona segment of the LV/MV distribution network. In this paper, collective contribution of both static and motor type smart loads to rapid frequency response provision is demonstrated through a case study on the Great Britain (GB) transmission system. The active power reserve available from such smart loads are quantified and aggregated at each node at the transmission level (275/400 kV). The study shows that the smart loads collectively offer a short-term power reserve which is comparable to the spinning reserve in the GB system and thus can ensure acceptable frequency deviation and its rate of change (RoCoF) following a large infeed loss.
