DESCRIPTION:The modern power grid is becoming more diversified through the 
 addition of inverter based renewable energy generation. Due to the variabi
 lity of renewable generation and it supplanting conventional synchronous g
 eneration\, concerns of grid stability increase as the percentage of renew
 able energy grows. While conventional synchronous generators traditionally
  provide both energy and ancillary services (inertia\, voltage regulation\
 , frequency support\, etc.)\, non-synchronous generators typically contrib
 ute only energy. The ability of renewable energy generators\, as well as e
 nergy storage systems\, to overcome these challenges is seen as crucial to
  maintain grid stability. Photovoltaic (PV) integration may benefit from b
 attery energy storage systems (BESS) in various ways by enhancing power sy
 stem flexibility due to their enormous diversity of uses and configuration
 s.\n\nIn 2021\, the Wind Energy Institute of Canada (WEICan) added a 109 k
 W PV array and a 111.5 kW/ 224 kWh BESS to its 10 MW Wind R&D Park. The wo
 rk presented will demonstrate the capabilities of these additions to provi
 de ancillary grid services such as automatic generation control (AGC)\, fi
 rm capacity\, voltage support\, and reducing the morning and evening ramps
  associated with PV power.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Canadian Atlantic Sect
 ion PES/IAS Chapter/Dr. Hamed Aly\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Robbie Sanderson\, \n
