Abstract

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.
