The annual revenue of the wind-storage coupled system is 12.78 million dollars which is the income of wind generation only sold to the grid or customer. With the decrease of energy storage plant cost and the increase of lifetime, the best storage capacity and the corresponding annual income of wind-storage coupled system increase.
A wind farm with an energy storage device is considered as a whole to be connected to the grid market. Firstly, the energy storage device stores abandoned wind generation to eliminate curtailment. Secondly, it stores wind generation when the price of electricity is pretty low.
The economic performance by integrating energy storage technologies into wind generation has to be analyzed for commercial development. One solution is to implement the electricity price arbitrage strategy. The real-time pricing (RTP) varies in the market throughout a single day due to the different patterns of supply and demand.
When the energy storage system lifetime is of 10 years, and the cost is equal to or more than 375 $/kWh, the optimization configuration capacity is 0 MWh, which means no energy storage installation. The annual revenue of the simulated wind-storage system is 12.78 million dollars, which is purely from the sale of wind generation.
