Modeling and simulation of a short-term storage system for renewable energy sources

Abstract

The integration of renewable energy sources in grid systems has a significant impact on the stability of electric power distribution. High variable energies such as wind power have a lack of stability and, to avoid short-term variations in power supplied to the grid, a local storage subsystem can be used to provide higher quality in the fed energy. This paper contains a mathematical model and a simulator focused on energy management that may be useful to evaluate the service quality, the energy efficiency and the required storage capacity.
