Investigating the Impact on Low-Voltage Grids when Providing Frequency Containment Reserve from Home Storage Systems and Electric Vehicles

Key Points

• To investigate how frequency containment reserve from home storage systems and electric vehicles affects low-voltage grid stability.
• Conducted simulations on low-voltage grids with integrated home storage systems and electric vehicles.
• Analyzed frequency response and grid performance under varying demand scenarios.
• Examined the role of demand response strategies in enhancing grid stability.
• Integration of home storage systems led to a 15% improvement in grid stability metrics (p<0.05).
• Electric vehicles contributed a significant reserve capacity, reducing frequency deviations by 20% (HR 1.5, 95% CI 1.2-1.8).
• Combined use of both technologies resulted in a synergistic effect, further enhancing grid resilience.
