A Review on Energy Storage Systems for Mitigation Power Fluctuations in Wind Turbine based Power System

Wind energy is in exhaustible renewable. Unlike conventional fossil fuels, wind energy is clean, abundant energy that will be available for future generations. However, wind speed is a highly stochastic component which can deviate very quickly. Output power of the wind energy conversion system (WECS) is proportional to the cube of wind speed, which causes the output power fluctuation of the wind turbine. The power fluctuation causes frequency fluctuation and voltage flicker inside the power grid. In order to reduce the power fluctuation, various approaches have been proposed in the last decades. This article deals with the review of several power smoothing strategies for the WECS. Power smoothing methods of the WECS are primarily separated in to two categories such as energy storage based power smoothing method and without energy storage based power smoothing method. The main objectives of this paper are to introduce operating principles for different power smoothing methods Sarvesh Garg | Geena Kalpesh"A Review on Energy Storage Systems for Mitigation Power Fluctuations in Wind Turbine based Power System" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-1 | Issue-4 , June 2017, URL: http://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd170.pdf http://www.ijtsrd.com/engineering/electrical-engineering/170/a-review-on-energy-storage-systems-for-mitigation-power-fluctuations-in-wind-turbine-based-power-system/sarvesh-garg
