Analysis of renewable energy infeed towards a concept of storage integration into existing grid

This paper presents a brief analysis on renewable energy infeed based on historic data of wind speed from a weather station, power output from an existing photovoltaic power plant and standard load demand publicly available from distribution system operators. All three data were prepared and used to run a single node model implemented in MATLAB Simulink. The single node model consist of a load block, renewable energy source (wind and solar) and reference source. The simulation shows a power profile of excess renewable energy production which can be absorbed by a storage system. The paper also presents a brief performance analysis on power from wind energy source and goes on to establish the need for in-depth analysis driven by data with smaller sample space spanning longer time frame to obtain more accurate results. This result will inform the process of proposing set of rules or a tool for sizing and placement of storage in an electrical network.
