Grid operators must navigate ERCOT’s ancillary services market to address Texas’ growing and diversified energy needs. When paired with renewable energy projects, energy storage supports the Fast Frequency Response Advancement (FFRA) market, which is crucial for improving grid capacity and sustainability.
In this session, Tony Olivo of FlexGen will delve into how energy storage integrates into the modern grid and contributes to increased sustainability. Participants will gain a clear understanding of Fast Frequency Response (FFR), Fast Responsive Reserve Service (FRRS), and Primary Frequency Response (PFR), and explore how these components interact to meet FFRA standards.
Attendees will also learn about the technical and regulatory challenges associated with integrating energy storage, the economic benefits of enhanced grid reliability, and the future prospects for energy storage solutions in supporting a resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure. By understanding these elements, participants will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of the ERCOT market and contribute to the development of a more sustainable energy future.
