Abstract: To address the frequency regulation requirements of hybrid energy storage (HES) in renewable-dominated power grids, this paper proposes an asymmetric droop control strategy based on an improved backpropagation (BP) neural network. First, a simulation model of HES (comprising supercapacitors for the power support and batteries for the energy balance) participating in primary frequency regulation is established, with a stepwise frequency regulation dead zone designed to optimize multi-device coordination. Second, an enhanced Sigmoid activation function (with controllable parameters a , b , m , and n ) is introduced to dynamically adjust the power regulation coefficients of energy storage units, achieving co-optimization of frequency stability and State of Charge (SOC). Simulation results demonstrate that under a step load disturbance (0.05 p.u.), the proposed strategy reduces the maximum frequency deviation by 79.47% compared to scenarios without energy storage (from 1.7587 × 10 −3 to 0.0555 × 10 −3 ) and outperforms fixed-droop strategies by 44.33%. During 6-min continuous random disturbances, the root mean square (RMS) of system frequency deviations decreases by 4.91% compared to conventional methods, while SOC fluctuations of supercapacitors and batteries are reduced by 49.28% and 45.49%, respectively. The parameterized asymmetric regulation mechanism significantly extends the lifespan of energy storage devices, offering a novel solution for real-time frequency control in high-renewable penetration grids.
