Optimal Selection an‎d Sizing of Hybrid Energy Storage Systems For Wind Farm Dispatching

فاقد چكيده فارسي

Wind power uncertainty is one of the problems in large-scale wind farms integration to the network. The use of Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) is a practical solution to enhance availability and power dispatching possibility of renewable energy sources (RESs). RESs need an ESS with high power and energy capacity while none of ESSs have this feature at the same time. The accepted solution for this problem is using the hybrid energy storage system (HESS). In this paper, wind-HESS power dispatching, optimal sizing and selection of HESS are considered, simultaneously, and the storage capacity is reduced by utilizing the limited wind power and HESS. The optimal types and capacity of HESS are determined based on multi-objective optimization function with objectives of maximizing the net present value and storage lifetime. Furthermore, in short-term power management control, the wind-HESS performance and delivering the prescheduled and constant power to the network are investigated and HESS charge-discharge cycles are controlled to work in safety range. Finally, the proposed method and short-term power management control are evaluated by a wind farm real data which is scaled down to 3MW power level for better comparison with other studies.
