The first part of this presentation provides background on ancillary services in North American electricity markets, highlighting both "old" and "new" ancillary services, the co-optimization of ancillary services with power in the market design, the emerging issue of inertia in the light of retiring thermal generation, and the increasing role of inverter-based resources in providing ancillary services. A key challenge with inverter-based resources providing ancillary services is appropriately defining energy storage requirements. This issue is illustrated and resolved in a proposed new inertia ancillary service.
Speaker: Prof. Ross Baldick, University of Texas at Austin
