Fluctuation suppression Fast output fluctuations (in the time range up to a minute) of the power of wind generators can cause network frequency and voltage variations, especially in isolated power systems, and thus impairing the power quality . In order to mitigate the effects of power fluctuations, an ESS can be used.
In this way, wind farms are known as wind power plants. In this scenario, ESS play an important role in wind power applications by controlling wind power plant output and providing ancillary services to the power system and thus, enabling an increased penetration of wind power in the system.
Due to the aforementioned problems, public and private entities have been compelled to support the widespread use of renewable power (wind power). ESS are utilized in stabilized power systems to smooth out the integration of wind power and maintain network inertia and frequency.
