“…Attempts are also being made to identify suitable substitutes for inertia, for instance via pre‐programmed synthetic responses that could be provided by some PEC‐interfaced technologies (known by different technical terms, such as synthetic inertia, emulated inertial response, FFR, etc.). Three main techniques are proposed within the literature, and indeed commercial offerings implemented by OEMs (Meegahapola, Sguarezi, et al, 2020), to achieve an FFR; (1) response based on frequency error (Δ f ), (2) response based on ROCOF ( df / dt ), (3) fixed trajectory response (fixed trapezoidal response) when the frequency excursion exceeds a certain threshold (Ruttledge & Flynn, 2016). By providing a very fast active power response—in the same timescale as an inertial response (basically, sub‐second response)—these technologies can help to stabilize the system frequency during frequency excursions (Ruttledge et al, 2013; Tan et al, 2017).…”
