Transportation electrification is an integral component of the energy decarbonization transition. This paper investigates the impact of distributed energy resources (DERs), including distributed photovoltaics (DPV) and electric vehicles (EVs), in the primary frequency response of the power grid. Increasing DER adoption poses challenges to maintaining grid frequency stability. However, DERs' ability to provide fast frequency regulation services-primary frequency response (PFR) and secondary frequency response (SFR)-can be exploited to recover the frequency after an N-1 contingency event in the system. This paper also investigates the importance of a droop control strategy through dynamic models of DPV and EV to provide the primary frequency regulation services following the contingency event. A dynamic EV model, based on the PVDl model Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) introduced, has been used for the simulation. Further, DERs' primary frequency response is studied for five different cases of DER penetration levels after the system is exposed to the generator trip. Additionally, different frequency regulation capacities of EVs are analyzed. The studies show that an increment in DERs capacity providing effective PFR can improve the system frequency nadir and stabilize the frequency faster after the generation trip contingency.
