Applied research on energy storage and conversion for photovoltaic and wind energy systems. Volume III. Wind conversion systems with energy storage. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5149066

The principal objectives of the study with respect to wind energy conversion systems (WECS) and their use of energy storage were: the assessment of selected candidate storage concepts; and evaluation of the effects of selected parameters on the attractiveness and worth of energy storage utilization. The scope of the investigations included both utility and non-utility applications. In addition to establishing cost goals for storage, the impact of charging storage from multiple sources, as well as from wind systems alone, was included, along with the effects of wind forecasting and transient smoothing of the wind system output.
