“…In addition, such system can be utilized to encounter climate change through enhancing the electric system stability or producing clean water in desalination plant [62]. It is expected that PHS unit turns into a common tool in near future to reduce the intermittency and volatility of RES energy in the electric networks.…”

“…A pumped-storage unit constitutes several components such as a pumping station, a turbine station, two water reservoirs installed at different heights and also piping lines. Usually, there are water pumps installed in parallel to absorb the fluctuation in power caused by RESs [61,62]. PHS is the oldest type of large-scale storage systems since 1904 which has been still used and new ones are under construction all around the world [63].…”

“…The most common and the best way to overcome the problems caused by wind power generation in isolated networks are utilizing hybrid hydro/wind schemes [62,[75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82]. That is the most appropriate way to optimally and desirably operate the available wind power capacity with high degree of penetration for small islands with low installed capacity is to use PHS units [62]. The PHS has been considered as a large storage system installed more than 95 GW all across the world, generally to promote the wind power integration to supply base load [83].…”

“…The possibility of integrating wind for an isolated electric grid is investigated wherein the operational parameters of PHS system are determined exploiting an integrated calculating algorithm to supply the electric energy on the basis of daily horizon. The most common and the best way to overcome the problems caused by wind power generation in isolated networks are utilizing hybrid hydro/wind schemes [62,[75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82].

Nowadays, the world is encountering severe challenges in the energy generation sector. Environmental issues like climate change, global warming and Green House Gases (GHGs) and also social issues like dramatic increase in global population and increasing energy demand are the main causes of global concerns about energy resource management. In this regard, Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) are the suitable substitution to replace the conventional generating units that emit GHGs due to the use of fossil fuels. Among all RESs, wind energy seems to be promising for generating emission-free electrical energy. However, it is naturally unpredictable due to its intermittency which leads to s ome technical problems such as generation imbalance as well as optimal reserve allocation. This paper investigates the solutions to compensate wind intermittency through introducing various technolo gies such as Pumped-Hydro Storage (PH S) units, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), solar energy and other electric storages like batteries. Abstract-Nowadays, the world is encountering severe challenges in the energy generation sector. Environmental issues like climate change, global warming and Green House Gases

Abstract-In order to improve the penetration of wind energy in a grid, pumped storage system for smoothing the fluctuations of wind power has been presented. A stand-alone wind-pumped storage and hydropower system which can transform wind power into conventional hydropower integrating to the grid can maximize wind energy penetration. In this case, operation control and stable of the stand-alone wind-pumped storage system is one of key technologies. In this paper, the configuration of a stand-alone pump-storage system only consisting of wind turbine and pumps is proposed. Simulation results shown that the system can operate stably.
