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.

An optimal sizing model of the battery energy storage system (BESS) for large-scale wind farm adapting to the scheduling plan is proposed in this paper. Based on the analysis of the variability and uncertainty of wind output, the cost of auxiliary services of systems that are eased by BESS is quantized and the constraints of BESS accounting for the effect of wind power on system dispatching are proposed. Aiming to maximum the benefits of wind-storage union system, an optimal capacity model considering BESS investment costs, wind curtailment saving, and auxiliary services compensation is established. What’s more, the effect of irregular charge/discharge process on the life cycle of BESS is considered into the optimal model by introducing an equivalent loss of the cycle life. Finally, based on the typical data of a systems, results show that auxiliary services compensation can encourage wind farm configuration BESS effectively. Various sensitivity analyses are performed to assess the effect of the auxiliary services compensation, on-grid price of wind power, investment cost of BESS, cycle life of BESS, and wind uncertainty reserve level of BESS on this optimal capacity.

With the rapid increase of the installed capacity of wind power, the output power fluctuations of wind park had a great influence on the stability of the grid. Energy storage system in the wind farm can smooth the fluctuations of wind power effectively, and improve grid ability to admit wind power. The model of energy storage system based on vanadium redox flow battery was builded according to the state of charge, voltage and current characteristics. A kind of power control strategy with low-pass filtering was designed based on the new system model. Simulation results show that this model is more closer to the actual vanadium flow battery characteristics, the control strategy based on low-pass filtering can stabilize the output fluctuations of the wind farm power.

Recently, more and more people realize the importance of environment protection. Electric power generation systems using renewable energy sources have an advantage of no greenhouse effect gas emission. Among all the choices, wind power can offer an economic and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional methods of power supply. As a result, wind energy generation, utilization and its grid penetration in electrical grid is increasing world wide. The wind generated power is always fluctuating due to its time varying nature and causing stability problem. Inserting energy storage system into large scale wind farm to eliminate the fluctuation becomes a solution for developing large scale renewable energy system connected with grid. The topology diagram and control strategy are presented in this paper. According to the simulation result, it could be indicated that embedding energy storage system into wind power system could improve the access friendly and extend system functions. This paper shows that integrating energy storage system into wind power system will build a more reliable and flexible system for power grid.

Alongside the rapid expansion of wind power installation in China, wind curtailment is also mounting rapidly due to China’s energy endowment imbalance. The hydrogen-based wind-energy storage system becomes an alternative to solve the puzzle of wind power surplus. This article introduced China’s energy storage industry development and summarized the advantages of hydrogen-based wind-energy storage systems. From the perspective of resource conservation, it estimated the environmental benefits of hydrogen-based wind-energy storages. This research also builds a valuation model based on the Real Options Theory to capture the distinctive flexible charging and discharging features of the hydrogen-based wind-energy storage systems. Based on the model, simulation results, including the investment value and operation decision of the hydrogen energy storage system with different electricity prices, system parameters, and different levels of subsidies, are presented. The results show that the hydrogen storage system fed with the surplus wind power can annually save approximately 2.19–3.29 million tons of standard coal consumption. It will reduce 3.31–4.97 million tons of CO2, SO2, NOx, and PM, saving as much as 286.6–429.8 million yuan of environmental cost annually on average. The hydrogen-based wind-energy storage system’s value depends on the construction investment and operating costs and is also affected by the mean-reverting nature and jumps or spikes in electricity prices. The market-oriented reform of China’s power sector is conducive to improve hydrogen-based wind-energy storage systems’ profitability. At present, subsidies are still essential to reduce initial investment and attract enterprises to participate in hydrogen energy storage projects.

Since distributed power generation equipment such as wind power contain electric power fluctuation connected into the power grid, hybrid energy storage (HESS) equipment for power compensation is used to solve the problems of reliability and operation of the utility power grid. Constant power control and Fuzzy-Rules-based control of AC-DC and BESS is proposed for smoothing the random wind power fluctuations, considering the operating constraints of the HESS, such as state of charge (SOC) and wind power (Pout). The simulation is accomplished by using a 9MW wind farm and the HESS in Matlab, The results show that by the proposed control methods of the bi-directional DC-DC converter and the DC-AC converter, the energy storage system can smooth the wind power outputs and provide reactive power support to the grid.

In this paper, the wind power fluctuation is divided into three categories. For the purpose of balancing all kinds of wind power fluctuation to enhance the penetration levels of wind power, we propose an active-parallel hybrid energy storage system (APHESS). The APHESS is composed of a battery, a supercapacitor, and two charge-discharge controllers. By combining the battery with the supercapacitor, the APHESS obtains the enhanced energy storage performance. Therefore, the investment cost can be reduced. By the reasonable design on the operation mode of APHESS, the APHESS can interchange power precisely with the wind power system. Furthermore, the battery and supercapacitor can suppress separately different kinds of wind power fluctuation to make their own energy storage properties fully utilized. The APHESS can be widely used in wind farm for the real-time regulation on wind power

With the fast development of clean energy in China, the conflict between limited peak load regulation capability and the increasing installed wind power capacity became more and more obvious. Two different wind power integration dispatching modes were proposed in this paper, meanwhile, the wind power integration capacity and system economy under different scenarios, which have different wind power penetration and energy storage system (ESS) capacity, were also analyzed. As indicated in the example analysis, the ESS can significantly enhance the wind power integration capacity; and the economical wind power integration dispatching mode is the most suitable choice for the power grid in wind-rich area.
