English Abstract
The variability of solar and wind energy production presents significant grid integration challenges especially in the operation of power systems.
The optimal use of energy storage system may be a viable solution to control and match the power generation to the load profile.
This thesis proposes a method to identify the optimum daily operational strategy of a storage system.
An hourly optimization problem was formulated for this purpose to maximize the economic gain of a wind and solar farms considering the market price and the main operational restrictions of the hybrid energy system.
This method is also suitable for other energy resources and energy storage technologies.
Other prominent issues facing renewable energy farms are the proper selection and sizing of the energy storage system.
ES-Select™ tool was used for the purpose of selecting the best feasible storage option.
Furthermore, a method to optimize the size of the storage system with respect to the net present cost (NPC), while meeting the service requirement is also discussed.
Case studies are presented to verify the effectiveness of these models.
This work finally investigates the value of energy storage by performing a cost analysis technique to find out the cost added to the energy stored.
Several storage technologies have been considered in this analysis.
