“…al. [2] "Constant Power Control of DFIG Wind Turbines With Supercapacitor Energy Storage" in this paper has proposed a novel two-layer CPC scheme for a wind farm equipped with DFIG wind turbines. Each wind turbine is equipped with a super capacitor-based ESS, which is connected to the dc link of the DFIG through a twoquadrant dc/dc converter.…”

Abstract:Energy storage systems (ESSs) are enabling technologies for well-established and new applications such as power peak shaving, electric vehicles, integration of renewable energies, etc. With the increasing penetration of wind power into electric power grids, energy storage devices will be required to dynamically match the intermittency of wind energy. Energy-storage devices charge during low power demands and discharge during high power demands, acting as catalysts to provide energy boost. Batteries are the primary energy-storage devices in ground vehicles. Increasing the all-electric range of vehicles by 15% almost doubles the incremental cost of the energy-storage system. Due to the variable characteristics of renewable generation, batteries used in renewable-power systems can undergo many irregular, partial charge/discharge cycles. In turn, this can also have a detrimental effect on battery lifetime. Energy storage system in wind power system is required to deal with the difference of power between generator side and load side.

“…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]. 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].…”

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

“…For a particular energy system, the limit on the load factor of turbines in PHS, which will be supported by a different level of FIT, should be optimized according to the desirable level of excess production from RES units or according to the needs of security of supply or of the energy autonomy of the system as described by Kaldellis et al in [10].…”

“…Their proposal for reducing the installation costs considers to use an existing water tank on the island as the lower reservoir of PHS. The similar studies for use of PHS in the several Greek islands are provided in [9,10], where PHS is described as the optimum energy storage system for bigger islands. In [11] PHS is used in order to achieve 100% electricity supply for Portugal.…”

h i g h l i g h t s" The most widespread storage in power systems is the pumped/reversible hydro storage. " The electricity market does not adequately rewarded all services that PHS provide to the electricity system. " The FIT-GO varies in the range of 42-265 €/MW h for an average capacity factor of 20%. a r t i c l e i n f o t r a c tThis paper analyses potential supporting schemes for pumped hydro storage (PHS) facilities in Croatia, which would guarantee recovery of the investment cost, with feed-in tariffs -for instance -which would guarantee payment for discharging wind-originated power as a reward for boosting the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs). The payment level acts as a floor basis for the PHS operator during the decision-making process to contract fixed payments for wind support or to act market-free on other market segments, through price arbitrage and reserve provision. The market share required for the efficient operation of a PHS facility and the levels of feed-in tariff (FIT) are set mathematically. Main findings put the level of FIT for an applied project in Croatia in the range 42-265 €/MW h for an average load factor of 20%, depending on particular local conditions, such as the level of wind power curtailment in the system, the power price for charging the storage and the number of pumps and penstocks, which could lower the capital cost. It is claimed that not all services that PHS provides to the electricity system are adequately rewarded by the electricity market, and thus there is a serious uncertainty as to how investment costs in energy storage would be recovered. Other elements, outside the market, are likely to influence the operation of PHS, such as the regulated level of a desirable rate of curtailment of RES power excess, the adequate level of energy security and the reserve margins which PHS could help to ensure.
