Abstract

This paper presents an optimization configuration scheme for energy storage capacity by taking into account the operational characteristics of supercapacitors. The scheme utilizes Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to address power fluctuations during the integration of wind power into the grid. To begin with, the wind power data undergoes EMD to decompose it into different-order intrinsic mode functions. These functions are then reconstructed as low-frequency components and high-frequency components. The low-frequency components are directly connected to the grid, while the high-frequency components are employed for power smoothing through energy storage. Subsequently, the impact of various wind power grid limits on the directly connected power is compared to identify the optimal value. A model is established to configure the capacity of supercapacitors, aiming to mitigate wind power fluctuations. The model considers an objective function that minimizes the sum of energy storage investment and operational maintenance costs, along with the compensation cost associated with wind power fluctuation opportunities. Finally, the proposed model’s effectiveness and economic feasibility are validated through case studies. This ensures that the model’s efficacy in reducing power fluctuations and its viability from a financial standpoint are thoroughly examined.
