Validating the Real-Time Performance of Distributed Energy Resources Participating on Primary Frequency Reserves

A significant body of research has emerged for adapting diverse intelligent distributed energy resources to provide primary frequency reserves (PFR). However, such works are usually vague about the technical specifications for PFR. Industrial practitioners designing systems for PFR markets must pre-...
