With the extensive integration of high-penetration renewable energy resources, more fast-response frequency regulation (FR) providers are required to eliminate the impact of uncertainties from loads and distributed generators (DGs) on system security and stability. As a high-quality FR resource, community integrated energy station (CIES) can effectively respond to frequency deviation caused by renewable energy generation, helping to solve the frequency problem of power system. This paper proposes an optimal planning model of CIES considering FR service. First, the model of FR service is established to unify the time scale of FR service and economic operation. Then, an optimal planning model of CIES considering FR service is proposed, with which the revenue of participating in the FR service is obtained under market mechanism. The flexible electricity pricing model is introduced to flatten the peak tie-line power of CIES. Case studies are conducted to analyze the annual cost and the revenue of CIES participating in FR service, which suggest that providing ancillary services can bring potential revenue.
