Abstract

Energy storage is considered as an effective approach to deal with the power deviation that caused by the stochastic wind power forecast error. Because of the spatial-temporal correlation of forecast errors for wind farms, which locate close to each other and integrate into the same regional power grid, energy storage could be deployed effectively and economically. Therefore, this study proposes an optimisation method to size the capacity of energy storage system (ESS) considering the spatial-temporal correlation of forecast errors for multiple nearby wind farms. The copula theory based correlation model of high-dimensional forecast errors is built to capture the spatial-temporal characteristics of forecast error. Then, according to multiple scenarios technique, an optimal ESS sizing model is established to minimise the investment and operation costs of the ESS. Meanwhile, an operation strategy considering the trend of prediction and correlation of errors is used to implement rolling operation strategy of ESS. The case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method and illustrate the significant impact of the correlation of forecast error on the capacity of ESS.
