AB - In order to decarbonise the electricity sector, the future Great Britain (GB)power system will be largely dominated by non-synchronous renewables. This willcause low levels of inertia, a key parameter that could lead to frequencydeterioration. Therefore, the requirement for ancillary services that containfrequency deviations will increase significantly, particularly given theincrease in size of the largest possible loss with the commissioning of largenuclear plants in the near future. In this paper, an inertia-dependentStochastic Unit Commitment (SUC) model is used to illustrate the benefits oflinking inertia and frequency response provision in low-inertia systems. Wedemonstrate that the cost of procuring ancillary services in GB could increaseby 165% if the level of inertia is not explicitly considered when procuringfrequency response. These results highlight the need to re-think the structureof ancillary-services markets, which in GB are nowadays held one month ahead ofdelivery.
