摘要：This paper deals with support and ancillary services
which are provided by the Ghanaian power market operator. The
System operator services ensure a balance between production
and consumption of electricity and the quality and control of the
entire electricity system. Frequency, Voltage and Grid Integrity,
are the critical criterion of efficient network management.
Formally, this has been the job of the vertically integrated utility
(VIU). Hence earlier, during the time of system planning for
network expansion adequate resources were mobilized for the
ancillary requirements also. To develop competition amongst the
various generation and distribution utilities, the VIU has been
unbundled, and the wire business has been kept as a natural
monopoly for Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), the system
operator in the Ghanaian power market. Parameters such as
frequency, voltage and grid Integrity, known as Ancillary
Services, are entrusted to (GRIDCo), for keeping them within
limits by procuring these services from various Generating and
Transmitting Agencies under the regulatory supervision and
guidance of Energy Commission. The primary ancillary services
in the Ghanaian power markets are; reactive power, frequency
regulation, black start, and spinning reserve.
