To leverage the efficacy of different types of energy storage in improving the frequency of the power grid in the frequency regulation of the power system, we scrutinized the capacity allocation of hybrid energy storage power stations when participating in the frequency regulation of the power grid.
In this paper, we investigate the control strategy of a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) that participates in the primary frequency modulation of the system.
2.1. Principles of Hybrid Energy Storage Participation in Grid Frequency Regulation In grid frequency regulation, a standard target frequency is typically set to 50 Hz. The grid frequency is then modulated by adjusting the rotational speed of generators to manage the power output .
The hybrid energy storage capacity allocation method proposed in this article is suitable for regional grids affected by continuous disturbances causing grid frequency variations. For step disturbances, the decomposition modal number in this method is relatively small, and its applicability is limited.
To make up for the aforementioned defects, we propose here a capacity configuration method for hybrid energy storage stations based on the northern goshawk optimization (NGO) optimized variate mode decomposition (VMD).
Currently, there have been some studies on the capacity allocation of various types of energy storage in power grid frequency regulation and energy storage. Chen, Sun, Ma, et al. in the literature have proposed a two-layer optimization strategy for battery energy storage systems to regulate the primary frequency of the power grid.
The facility, built in partnership with Qatari conglomerate Al-Attiyah Group and US electric car maker and battery provider Tesla, is intended to store power during off peak hours or when the station reaches minimum load as well as to improve network voltage.

Hence, large-scale energy storage systems will need to decouple supply and demand. The appropriate choice of ESS can significantly advance the power system and reduce the uncertainty of RE generation.
Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are essential for managing power system stability, particularly as the integration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, grows. ESS can absorb, store, and release energy as needed, which helps balance supply and demand, regulate grid frequency, and provide backup power.
In order to cope with both high and low load situations, as well as the increasing amount of renewable energy being fed into the grid, the storage of electricity is of great importance. However, the large-scale storage of electricity in the grid is still a major challenge and subject to research and development.
Grid energy storage is a collection of methods used to store energy on a large scale within an electricity grid.
Energy storage significantly facilitates large-scale RE integration by supporting peak load demand and peak shaving, improving voltage stability and power quality. Hence, large-scale energy storage systems will need to decouple supply and demand.

This follows a deal between Bolivia's state-run lithium company, Yacimientos del Litio Bolivianos (YLB), and a Chinese consortium. CATL agreed to invest over $1 billion in the project's first stage for rights to develop the two lithium plants. Despite being a global leader in electric vehicle batteries, CATL does not currently produce any lithium.
The agreement focuses on Bolivia's salt flats, known for their vast lithium resources. Bolivian President Luis Arce confirmed the plan to build two lithium plants in the country's Uyuni and Oruro salt flats after meeting with CATL executives. He announced a $1.4 billion investment and hinted at possible future investments up to 2028.
