Abstract

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources reduces rotating inertia and even frequency control capacity, affecting frequency stability. This challenge is significant in \gls{ips} that already suffer from low inertia and frequency control capacity. This paper presents a comparative study on different \gls{fcuc} formulations applied to \gls{ips}. Then, by considering under-frequency load shedding as a significant measure of frequency stability in \gls{ips}, two indices are presented to fully compare the formulations from system benefits and computational burden perspectives. Simulations conducted on a real Spanish island show that the data-driven corrective \gls{fcuc} formulation has the most advantages among other formulations.
