Design and Analysis of a New-Type Sand Energy Storage System for Wind Power Stations

Abstract:

Pumped storage is one of the optimum and practical methods acting as an energy storage plan for conventional wind power stations. However, in northwestern China where more than 50% of China's total available wind energy exists, water resources are always too scarce to support any energy storage systems. To solve this contradiction, this paper puts forward a new-type storage plan for wind power stations, namely the Sand Energy Storage System(SESS). This plan needs masses of sand or gravel as an energy storage medium and simulates the working principle of pumped storage, yet certain devices are specially designed. Additionally, this paper demonstrates further exploration of the SESS by means of a model experiment, and ensuing analysis is made according to actual situations.
