A Scheduling Operation Method of Wind Farm to Deal with Ramp Events and Evaluation of Required Battery Capacity

Abstract

Recently, the penetration of the renewable energy has been increasing. Especially, the wind power generation has focused as the technology to solve environmental problems. However, the high penetration of wind farm (WF) may have a bad influence on the power system, caused by the fluctuating power outputs. This paper proposes the scheduling operation method of WF to deal with ramp events in order to dispatch power stably and deliberately, using a battery energy storage system (BESS). And the evaluation of the BESS capacity clarifies the required BESS capacity for this method.
