© 2022 Elsevier B.V.BESS are now preferred to provide ancillary services due to their advantages of cost reductions and rapid response times. Based on the criteria in the regulation for the electricity grid, an advanced power management control algorithm with the technical features to provide the grid frequency support specified in the regulation on the use of BESSs in ancillary services has been developed in this study and evaluated in various scenarios. A 2 MW/1 MWh installed power BESS is considered for frequency support control, which is one of the grid ancillary services. The algorithm is tested for providing the appropriate power by optimally using the state of charge of the battery within the limits specified in the regulation. Since the maximum and minimum set limits for the state of charge cannot be exactly defined in the literature, the fuzzy logic method was chosen as the decision-maker for active power output. In the algorithm, the amount of power that must be supplied by the battery energy storage system will change according to the dynamically varied state of charge. The results show that the fuzzy logic control algorithm successfully provides the frequency response in the regulation zone with optimum SOC level and contributes the extending the battery life.
