Abstract

One of the very important aspects of power system development is improving the stability of the system, which can be disrupted from the high penetration of renewable energy sources. This increases the need for frequency support (FS) services. An improvement of the current services for FS and procurement methods for these services is already being implemented in European countries. The aim of this research is to assess the current conditi-ons of FS markets in Continental Europe and Macedonia and to underline the main steps that should be taken for the improvement of FS services and procurement methods in Macedonia. Furthermore, it highlights the challenges for FS market development.
