Abstract
Results from simulation of the influence of energy
storage on the variability and availability of wind energy are
presented here. Simulations have been done using a
mathematical model of energy storage implemented in
MATLAB. The obtained results show the quality improvement,
of energy delivered by a combination of wind and energy storage,
in relation to the size of the energy storage. The introduction of
storage enables suppression of wind power fluctuations up to a
timescale proportional to the storage energy capacity. Energy
storage cannot provide availability of wind power at all times,
but it can guarantee that a certain fraction of average wind
power will be available within a given timeframe. The amount of
storage energy capacity necessary for significant improvement of
wind power availability, within a given period, is found to be
approximately 20% of the energy produced in that period. The
necessary storage power is found to be approximately equal to
the average wind power of that same period.
