Optimal Energy Storage Sizing for Wind Power Applications

Abstract:

Wind energy is now widely used in many countries as a clean energy. In order to make better use of wind energy, we need to study various factors affecting the utilization of wind energy. If we can better predict the wind, we can make full use of wind energy. Where, combing an energy storage system with a wind farm is an effective way to mitigate fluctuations and improve the predictability of wind power. Energy storage sizing has been an important part in wind farm planning. This paper presents an optimization model for determining the capacity of a lead-acid battery integrated with a wind farm. The energy storage capacity calculated in the model gives the lowest cost and has a significant impact on remedying the prediction error. Besides, the charge and discharge operation can also be displayed in our model.
