“…Other advanced technologies include high voltage direct current cabling and power electronic devices to control load flow. Wind power penetration can be further increased through the clustered management of wind farms (Estanqueiro, et al, 2008).…”

“…Wind power forecasting (WPF) is frequently identified as an important tool to address the variability and uncertainty in wind power and to more efficiently operate power systems with large wind power penetrations [4], [5], [9], [10]. Moreover, in a market environment, the wind power contribution to the generation portofolio becomes important in determining the daily and hourly prices, as variations in the estimated wind power will influence the clearing prices for both energy and operating reserves.…”

“…3. In organising such systems, it will be desirable to have Wind Power Dispatch Centres supporting DSO and TSO (Estanqueiro et al, 2008). This would enable undertaking a precise decision on what amount of electricity would be sourced from wind power plants and fed directly to system, and what would be used for pumping.…”

Feed-in tariffs for promotion of energy storage technologies

a b s t r a c tFaster market integration of new energy technologies can be achieved by use of proper support mechanisms that will create favourable market conditions for such technologies. The best examples of support mechanisms presented in the last two decades have been the various schemes for the promotion of renewable energy sources (RES). In the EU, the most successful supporting schemes are feed-in tariffs which have significantly increased utilisation of renewable energy sources in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and many other EU countries. Despite the successful feed-in tariffs for RES promotion, in many cases RES penetration is limited by power system requirements linked to the intermittency of RES sources and technical capabilities of grids. These problems can be solved by implementation of energy storage technologies like reversible or pumped hydro, hydrogen, batteries or any other technology that can be used for balancing or dump load. In this paper, feed-in tariffs for various energy storage technologies are discussed along with a proposal for their application in more appropriate regions. After successful application on islands and outermost regions, energy storage tariffs should be also applied in mainland power systems. Increased use of energy storage could optimise existing assets on the market.
