[pdf] To securely operate a power system several attributes need to be controlled, one of these is the frequency. The purpose of this report is to give an overview to the frequency control in the Nordic power system. For this purpose, a 1MW BESS is simulated. . These Technical Requirements for Frequency Containment Reserve Provision in the Nordic Synchronous Area specify formal technical requirements for Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) providers as well as requirements for compliance verification and information exchange. Hydropower units, which dominate the FCR markets, demonstrate difficulties meeting these requirements due to limited power response speed.
