Optimization and control of offshore wind systems with energy storage
During 2017, a capacity of 3148 MW of offshore wind was commissioned and connected to the grid in European countries, reaching a cumulative total of more than 15 GW
Techno-economically feasible secondary and flow battery technologies are required to enable future offshore wind farms with integrated energy storage. The natural intermittency of wind energy is a challenge that must be overcome to allow a greater introduction of this resource into the energy mix.
To investigate a co-located system, the battery capacity is quantified relative to the average plant power rather than the battery rated power. Such a change in perspective is important for an integrated system with energy storage and generation. A concept is proposed to place the battery within the substructure of offshore wind turbines.
Low-cost, long-duration energy storage is needed for renewable energy integration. Liquid metal battery storage may be preferred option over Li-ion storage. Integrating battery directly into offshore wind turbine has potential cost savings. Electrical line sizes can be reduced by 20% with 4 h of storage capacity.
Thus, if battery storage is going to be used to significantly levelize and control wind energy generation for day-to-day operation, then new storage options will be needed that are operable over much longer durations in the context of storage capacity relative to the plant average or rated power.
Flow battery energy storage (FBES) is another type of secondary battery. Conventional batteries store energy as the electrode material, whilst in flow batteries, the energy is stored as an electrolyte . More information about FBES types can be found in .
Such a change in perspective is important for an integrated system with energy storage and generation. A concept is proposed to place the battery within the substructure of offshore wind turbines. By co-locating, simulations indicate that the line size can be reduced to 4 MW with about 4 h of storage, and reduced to 3 MW with about 12 h of storage.
