Taiwan Power Company Partners with Foxwell Power for Enhanced Dynamic Frequency Regulation Amid Growing Energy Demands

In the session, two use cases were discussed. The first involved Saft collaborating with Foxwell Power in Taiwan to enhance dynamic frequency regulation for Taiwan Power Company (TPC). This initiative was driven by increased power demand due to chip manufacturing and AI data centers. A 75 megawatt power within a 172.5 megawatt-hour battery resource was commissioned in April 2024 to address these challenges through energy shifting and frequency control, alleviating grid congestion during peak hours from midday until evening. Operationally, this project required coordination between TPC's platform forecasts and automatic frequency control systems, ensuring executed power remained within transactional limits agreed upon contractually between TPC and Foxwell. An example of its effectiveness occurred when an earthquake hit Taiwan on April 3rd, reducing grid frequencies; the system responded swiftly by injecting significant capacity into the grid. The presentation also highlighted broader implications for countries like France-UK interconnection issues or Germany’s TSOs preparing comprehensive services amidst evolving demands for fast response times using batteries as inertia support mechanisms across various national grids.

Talk of session: Tackling Transmission and High-Capacity Connection Challenges

Grid planners face the complex challenge of transmitting energy from emerging renewable generation hubs to demand centers, while also addressing the growing need for high-capacity connections for storage plants, electrolyzers, and data centers. These developments present significant challenges for grid planners, grid operators, service providers and project developers. This session will explore the technical, regulatory, and logistical hurdles involved in managing these demands and examine innovative solutions to ensure reliable, efficient grid integration and future-proof energy systems. It also discusses the importance of system planning and examines how different stakeholders can contribute to optimization efforts that enable better prioritization of investments and the achievement of European goals.
