Abstract
Due to the intermittency and fluctuation of wind speed, the integration of wind power into electric power system has been a relevant issue. Recently, Pumped-storage hydro plant (PHES) can be used to balance the unstable output of wind farm, as it can adjust its production to compensate wind power fluctuation. This paper investigated the combination of a wind farm and a PHES facility from the point of view of a generation company in a market environment. A joint operation model between the wind farm and PHES is proposed. An algorithm of energy management system (EMS) is proposed to identify the daily operational strategy to be followed in order to: 1) Minimize the penalty cost resulted from wind-PHES output imbalances; 2) Maximize the daily revenue profit taking into consideration all constraints of joint operation. Simulation results under MATLAB/SIMILINK®environment are presented and discussed.
