Stabilization of a Grid-Connected Wind Farm by Using SMES (Paperback)

Due to the environmental and economical concerns, it is expected that a huge number of wind farms are going to be connected with the existing networks in the near future. However, the wind being intermittent sources of power, cannot meet the load demand all of the time. Wherever intermittent power sources reach high levels of grid penetration, energy storage becomes one option to provide reliable energy supplies. Therefore, this book deals with different approaches to stabilize a grid-connected wind farm.Among the various energy storage devices SMES is one of the options to provide reliable and fast response energy to the grid. These devices can help to make renewable energy more smooth and reliable, though the power output cannot be controlled by the grid operators. They can also balance micro grids to achieve a good match between generation and load demand. Also, it can significantly improve the load availability, a key requirement for any power system. The energy storage, therefore, is a desired feature to incorporate with renewable power systems, particularly in stand alone power plants. Thus this book investigates different methods to use SMES for stabilizing windfarm.
