D. Supporting the Integration of Intermittent Renewable Energy Sources
- Frequency and synchronous spinning reserve support: Energy storage can provide
prompt response to imbalances between generation and load without the emissions related to most conventional solutions.
- Transmission Curtailment Reduction: An EES unit located close to the wind
generation can allow the excess energy to be stored and then delivered at times when the transmission system is not congested.
- Time Shifting: Wind turbines are considered as non-dispatchable resources. EES
can be used to store energy generated during periods of low demand and deliver it during periods of high demand.
- Forecast Hedge: Mitigation of errors (shortfalls) in wind energy bids into the
market prior to required delivery, thus reducing volatility of spot prices and mitigating risk exposure of consumers to this volatility.
- Fluctuation suppression: Wind farm generation frequency can be stabilized by
suppressing fluctuations (absorbing and discharging energy during short duration variations in output).
