Stabilization of Large-Scale Wind Power Generation by Combination of Pumped Storage Generation with Archimedean Screw

Abstract:

Electric power storage facilities for stabilization of the voltage and the frequency are necessary to interconnect wind power generations with power systems. However, conventional pumped storage generation systems can’t combine with wind power generations because these can’t work intermittently. Therefore we consider a new system featuring a pumped storage generation with the Archimedean screw. The Archimedean screw can hold water without electricity supplied, and can continue pumping while it is powered on. Therefore, the Archimedean screw enables the combination of the pumped storage generation and wind power generation. In this study, simulation has been done to examine the feasibility.
