Energy Storage Application for Performance Enhancement of Wind Integration

This paper proposes a stochastic framework to enhance the reliability and operability of wind integration using energy storage systems. A genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization approach is used together with a probabilistic optimal power flow (POPF) to optimally place and adequately size the energy storage. The optimization scheme minimizes the sum of operation and interrupted-load costs over a planning period. Historical wind speed, load and equipment failure data are used to stochastically model the wind generation, load and equipment availability. Using Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering, wind and load samples are grouped into 40 clusters of days with similar sample points to account for seasonal variations. The IEEE 24-bus system (RTS) is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method and realize the maximum achievable reliability level. A cost-benefit analysis compares storage technologies and conventional gas-fired alternatives to reliably and efficiently integrate different wind penetration levels and determine the most economical design. Storage distribution and its effect on performance enhancement of wind integration are examined for higher wind penetrations.
