Benefits of Energy Storage Systems for Small-Scale Wind Farm Development in Latvia

Abstract

The paper covers the main aspects and restrictions on siting small-scale wind farms in Latvia and benefits of using energy storage systems with small-scale wind farms. The restrictions of siting have been analysed. Grid connection restrictions are addressed as the main issues for small-scale wind farm development in Latvia. Two small-scale wind farm models with similar properties have been made and analysed within the framework of the research. The paper proposes the idea for maximising the production of small-scale wind farm in a small area site with high wind potential.

Influence of “Productive” Impurities (Cd, Na, O) on the Properties of the Cu2ZnSnS4 Absorber of Model Solar Cells

“…Note that various options have already been proposed and successfully developed for energy converters, such as solar batteries [1]- [3], wind generators [4], [5], geothermal converters [6], as well as for different energy storage devices, such as a superconducting inductive storage [7]. To improve the performance of these systems, new properties of solar radiation absorbers [8]- [10], quasi-two-dimensional materials [11]- [13], superconductors [14]- [16] and others are being searched.…”
