PJM, which has a fast (RegD) and a slow (RegA) regulation signal, uses RegA to conditionally maintain energy neutrality of the RegD signal over short durations. CAISO offsets net energy produced/consumed for frequency regulation with energy from the real-time energy market. This paper presents a comparison of these strategies with the goal of assessing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Specifically, we compare the approaches in terms of regulation signal-following performance and additional system control effort. Case study results suggest that both strategies can reliably keep a battery away from its state of charge limits but that PJM's strategy requires larger energy deviation from base operations.10engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalPolicy, Markets, and Analyticsbattery energy storageelectricity marketsenergy managementfrequency regulationtext10.24251/HICSS.2023.337
