This paper explores neural ordinary differential equations (Neural ODEs) as a computationally efficient, data-driven framework for modelling power system frequency dynamics, specifically within microgrids integrating high penetrations of distributed energy resources (DERs). The developed neural ODEs framework incorporates a neural network architecture designed to capture input dynamics. By actively perturbing the system with a known signal, the Python-based neural ODEs framework was trained using measured system states and inputs, without the need for detailed system information.

This shift, characterised by a decline in conventional synchronous generators and a rise in inverter-based RESs, has resulted in reduced grid inertia, posing substantial challenges to frequency stability. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a reliability-aware optimisation framework for virtual inertia planning in grids with high RES penetration. The framework accounts for stochastic variations in load demand and renewable generation and optimises the required virtual inertia to ensure frequency stability during a contingency involving the largest generating unit. A reliability-driven methodology is integrated to determine the necessary virtual inertia constants and energy reserves in battery energy storage systems (BESSs) on an hourly basis, ensuring that the frequency nadir and RoCoF constraints are met under varying system conditions. The case study illustrated how the proposed approach determines BESS virtual inertia support requirements on an hourly basis, adapting to fluctuations in available system inertia and RES output. For instance, at 12:00 corresponding to peak solar generation, the required BESS inertia constant and energy reserve were determined to be 1.65 s and 2.56 MWh for 50% reliability increasing to 3.57 s and 5.27 MWh for 90% reliability. The total BESS capacity required was 76.3 MWh for 90% reliability compared to 46.25 MWh and 57.78 MWh for 50% and 70% reliability, respectively. These results underscore the significance of reliability aware inertia planning as higher reliability levels necessitate greater inertial support to mitigate the impact of contingencies involving the largest generating unit. Notably, during peak solar hours (e.g., 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00), the percentage of frequency constraint violations is reduced from nearly 100% to 4.38%, 9.86% and 7.12%, respectively, when virtual inertia support from BESS is applied at 90% reliability. An economic evaluation was carried out to assess BESS performance under different reliability targets. The results show that although annual benefits remain positive, the benefit–cost ratio declines from 1.12 at 50% to 1.06 at 90% and the NPV decreases from 2.06 M AUD to 1.50 M AUD. This indicates that higher reliability improves frequency stability but requires greater BESS investment, leading to diminishing economic returns. In this context, the proposed framework offers grid operators a decision-making tool to set reliability targets consistent with grid codes, contingency standards and investment capacity.</p>","PeriodicalId":33288,"journal":{"name":"IET Energy Systems Integration","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/esi2.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145224355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The expansion of intermittent renewable generation together with increased demand, for example, from electric vehicles and heat pumps, exerts significant stress on grid stability and reliability, making power system flexibility essential for maintaining power and energy balance and enhancing system resilience. Urban buildings, with integrated heating, cooling, on-site generation, storage and flexible demand, constitute a substantial, cost-effective flexibility resource. In this paper, building flexibility is first defined and its physical drivers are identified. Quantification methods at the individual building scale, including physics-based simulations, machine-learning models and hybrid approaches supported by recent experiments, are then surveyed. Aggregation frameworks that include Virtual Power Plants and Virtual Energy Storage Systems are examined, comparing centralised, decentralised and hierarchical control strategies, ICT requirements and market-integration pathways. The participation of aggregated building flexibility in wholesale markets and its provision of distribution-level services are analysed. Enabling measures such as dynamic tariffs, demand-response programmes, smart-readiness indicators and relevant standards are critically evaluated.

The recovery control of non-TCLs may limit the capacity of bi-directional frequency control. Focusing on this problem, this paper proposes a bi-directional frequency control method which fully utilises the ON/OFF FLs in the recovery-process.
