Wind power supporting energy storage technology

Why is integrating wind power with energy storage technologies important?

Volume 10, Issue 9, 15 May 2024, e30466 Integrating wind power with energy storage technologies is crucial for frequency regulation in modern power systems, ensuring the reliable and cost-effective operation of power systems while promoting the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources.

What is a wind storage system?

A storage system, such as a Li-ion battery, can help maintain balance of variable wind power output within system constraints, delivering firm power that is easy to integrate with other generators or the grid. The size and use of storage depend on the intended application and the configuration of the wind devices.

Who is responsible for battery energy storage services associated with wind power generation?

The wind power generation operators, the power system operators, and the electricity customer are three different parties to whom the battery energy storage services associated with wind power generation can be analyzed and classified. The real-world applications are shown in Table 6. Table 6.

Why do wind turbines need an energy storage system?

To address these issues, an energy storage system is employed to ensure that wind turbines can sustain power fast and for a longer duration, as well as to achieve the droop and inertial characteristics of synchronous generators (SGs).

Can energy storage control wind power & energy storage?

As of recently, there is not much research done on how to configure energy storage capacity and control wind power and energy storage to help with frequency regulation. Energy storage, like wind turbines, has the potential to regulate system frequency via extra differential droop control.
