  • Patent number: 12255456
    Abstract: Demand response methodologies for primary frequency response (PFR) for under or over frequency events. Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for controlling a fleet of distributed energy resources equipped for PFR and quantifying in real time an amount of primary frequency control capacity available in the fleet. In some examples, the DERs may be configured to consume and discharge electrical energy in discrete energy packets and be equipped with a frequency response local control law that causes each DER to independently and instantaneously interrupt an energy packet in response to local frequency measurements indicating a grid disturbance event has occurred.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 7, 2024
    Date of Patent: March 18, 2025
    Assignee: University of Vermont and State Agricultural College
    Inventors: Mads Almassalkhi, Hani Mavalizadeh, Luis A. Duffaut Espinosa
