Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) may play an important role in wind power applications by controlling wind power plant output and providing ancillary services to the power system and therefore, enabling an increased penetration of wind power in the system.
For more details, review our privacy policy. Pumped hydro, batteries, and thermal or mechanical energy storage capture solar, wind, hydro and other renewable energy to meet peak power demand.
In this section, a review of several available technologies of energy storage that can be used for wind power applications is evaluated. Among other aspects, the operating principles, the main components and the most relevant characteristics of each technology are detailed.
Based on the study, it is concluded that different energy storage technologies can be used for photovoltaic and wind power applications.
The time of injection / absorption of active power by the storage device is about one minute, therefore high ramp-up rates and response time are preferable. Thus, HESS, flow batteries, batteries, and short time scale energy storage like supercapacitors, flywheels and SMES are well suited for this application.
There are many storage technologies which are suitable for this application: flywheels, SMES, batteries, flow batteries, HESS, CAES or PHS installations. Batteries and flow batteries have been the subject of study in numerous publications for providing spinning reserve capability in wind power plants.
