For on-grid applications, combining wind and solar can also offer advantages. One primary benefit is grid stability. Fluctuations in renewable energy supply can be problematic for maintaining a stable, consistent energy supply on the grid. The hybrid system can help mitigate this issue by providing a more constant power output.
To overcome these challenges, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have become important means to complement wind and solar power generation and enhance the stability of the power system.
Wind power systems harness the kinetic energy of moving air to generate electricity, offering a sustainable and renewable source of energy. Wind turbines (WT), the primary components of these systems, consist of blades that capture wind energy and spin a rotor connected to a generator, producing electrical power through electromagnetic induction.
Despite the individual merits of solar and wind energy systems, their intermittent nature and geographical limitations have spurred interest in hybrid solutions that maximize efficiency and reliability through integrated systems.
Amirthalakshmi et al. propose a novel approach to enhance solar PV energy penetration in microgrids through energy storage system. Their approach involves integrating USC to effectively store and manage energy from the PV system.
• Microgrids: in isolated or remote areas, solar and wind systems can be combined into a microgrid, which can operate independently of a central grid. Such systems often include energy storage solutions like batteries, which store excess energy from either source for later use .
