Wind Farm-Battery Energy Storage Assessment in Grid-Connected Microgrids

Power Quality Improvement of Grid Connected Wind Energy Systems Using Statcom-battery Energy Storage System

For the past few year renewable energy resources, without challenging environmental concerns has lead to significant increase in global power generation. Out of that wind energy is considered to be the most mature renewable energy source. However, the exploitation of wind energy is particularly challenging due to the stochastic nature of wind. This weak interconnection of wind generating source...

Multi Attribute Investment Planning of a Grid-Connected Diesel/Wind/PV/Battery Hybrid Energy System

Recently, along with the depletion of fossil fuels and growing electrical requirements, more attention has been paid on utilizing Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). The Chichest tourism complex is located 20 km far from Orumieh, Iran which has been supplied through the main distribution grid connection. But, recently the trend is to expand the share of RESs in supplying microgrids demand. Hence, ...

Decentralized Control Strategy for Optimal Energy Management in Grid-Connected and Islanded DC Microgrids

This paper proposes a decentralized control technique to minimize the total operation cost of a DC microgrid in both grid-connected and islanded modes. In this study, a cost-based droop control scheme based on the hourly bids of all participant distributed generators (DGs) and the hourly energy price of the utility is presented. An economic power sharing technique among various types of DG unit...

Wind energy management with battery storage

This paper considers short-term energy management of a wind power plant with battery storage, in order to smooth the variations of power output to the external grid. An optimal on-line heuristic is developed for a control environment, in which decision-making is independent of wind historical data and forecasts.
