Optimal control strategy for a wind power hybrid energy storage system considering output power amendment

Abstract

Aiming at meeting the requirement of balancing the fluctuating wind power, this study proposed an optimal control strategy for wind power hybrid energy storage system considering output power amendment. Firstly, fluctuant wind power is decomposed into low-frequency, sub-high frequency and high-frequency components. Low-frequency part is used as the expected value of wind power integration. Sub-high frequency and high-frequency components are used as the target value of output power of storage batteries and ultra-capacitor energy storage system. Secondly, a double power amendment is proposed. In the first-time power amendment, the amendment coefficient is calculated by fuzzy controller whose inputs are the target value of power and state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage system. On the other hand, complement of batteries and super-capacitors are utilised in the second amendment. Through simulation analysis, it can be indicated that the configuration of the hybrid energy storage system and the control system design are feasible. This system can be widely used in wind farm, undertaking the task of balancing the fluctuating wind power.
