Abstract
O ering services to stabilize the electrical grid is nowadays one of the major tasks of fossil power plants and also of signi cant economical relevance. However the e ects on the power plants regarding the additional wear of components is uncertain. Usually the e ects regarding control reserves, especially primary control occur with high frequencies and small amplitudes, which makes investigations based on measurement data impossible since the e ects are masked by the noise of normal operation. In order to investigate this issue, a detailed model of a lignite power plant has been used, which was developed in Modelica for simulating and comparing scenarios with and without o ering primary control reserves. The model comprises the entire water-steam cycle including turbines, preheaters and pumps, as well as a very detailed boiler model including the air supply, coal mills, a combustion chamber, heating surfaces and piping. Furthermore the power plants control system has been implemented in a very precise way. In addition the study involves an investigation on the input signals (grid frequency) and a calculation of lifetime consumption for speci c components to evaluate the e ects.
