“…Several serious problems will be caused by the power fluctuations, such as the grid frequency fluctuation, the active power fluctuation and the voltage flicker at the buses of the power grid. Then the poor quality and instability problems in power system will be created [95]. Various power smoothing methods have been proposed to solve these problems.…”

“…However, this will increase the overall system and operating costs. The smoothing methods are classified into two groups; (i) without utilization of energy storage devices and (ii) by utilizing energy storage devices [24,25]. The first group is based on pitch angle control [37] and the kinetic energy of inertia control [38].…”

Abstract:Wind energy is one of the most common types of renewable energy resource. Due to its sustainability and environmental benefits, it is an emerging source for electric power generation. Rapid and random changes of wind speed makes it an irregular and inconsistent power source when connected to the grid, causing different technical problems in protection, power quality and generation dispatch control. Due to these problems, effective intermittent smoothing approaches for wind power output are crucially needed to minimize such problems. This paper reviews various intermittent smoothing approaches used in smoothing the output power fluctuations caused by wind energy. Problems associated with the inclusion of wind energy resources to grid are also briefly reviewed. From this review, it has been found that battery energy storage system is the most suitable and effective smoothing approach, provided that an effective control strategy is available for optimal utilization of battery energy system. This paper further demonstrates different control strategies built for battery energy storage system to obtain the smooth output wind power.

The installation of wind energy has experienced rapid development during recent years. As a result, the operation of power system can be greatly affected. Therefore, the operators of different countries have formulated the grid codes which reinforce technical requirements for wind power plants. In this paper, recent grid codes published in different countries have been carefully reviewed. The basic requirements of active power control and reactive power compensation, both of which have particular influence on wind power plants operation, are focused on. Based on this review, it is understood that with the increasing integration of wind energy, there is a worldwide trend to regulate the performance of wind power plants so that they can contribute to the stability and reliability of power system.
