The increasing penetration of renewable energies is
becoming a problem for the stability of the grid and the
planning of electricity generation. The use of batteries in
parallel to wind farms can be a very interesting issue in order to
assure controlled power delivery of renewable energy sources.
In this way wind energy can become in a predictable and even
controllable energy resource.
This article presents a proposition to design a grid manager for
weak power systems with high penetration of wind energy
using Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Using power
demand and wind predictions this system manager will send
reference power to BESS and controllable generators. In this
way the primary power reserve can be reduced and wind
deviations will not affect to the performance of generators.
