Challenges, strategies and opportunities for wind farm incorporated power systems: a review with bibliographic coupling analysis.

Abstract

Wind power is a rapidly developing energy source. Many nations use wind power to meet a considerable amount of their energy needs. Moreover, the technology of wind power has evolved over the period of time. As a result, the wind farm-incorporated power system has received more attention for its outstanding contributions. The purpose of this study is to review the research works published on four key topics within the theme of wind farm-incorporated power systems. We survey the research papers that are featured in the Web of Science database. We employ an approach called Methodi Ordinatio to filter the papers. The publication of papers related to wind farm-incorporated power system has increased significantly, especially between 2018 and 2022. Therefore, we conduct a database search during this period and select important papers. Then we review and describe the technical challenges and solutions of these papers. Furthermore, a bibliographic coupling analysis is presented. The analysis shows that the journals such as Energy, Energies, and Renewable Energy are the leading journals publishing papers on all four key topics. The analysis further demonstrates that the focus of the researchers is on wind power forecasting, followed by energy storage systems, and wind farm layout optimization. The least focus is on optimal power flow.
