Wind power systems benefit from several strengths, including their ability to produce clean energy, contribute to energy independence, and offer relatively low operational costs . However, they face challenges such as intermittent wind patterns and potential visual and noise impacts on landscapes and communities.
However, such systems mitigate the intermittency issues inherent to individual renewable sources, enhancing the overall reliability and stability of energy generation. Solar power exhibits peak output during daylight hours, while wind power can be harnessed even during periods of reduced solar availability .
For on-grid applications, combining wind and solar can also offer advantages. One primary benefit is grid stability. Fluctuations in renewable energy supply can be problematic for maintaining a stable, consistent energy supply on the grid. The hybrid system can help mitigate this issue by providing a more constant power output.
The integrated system can produce additional revenue compared with wind-only generation. The challenge is how much the optimal capacity of energy storage system should be installed for a renewable generation. Electricity price arbitrage was considered as an effective way to generate benefits when connecting to wind generation and grid.
Other sources of storage value include providing operating reserves to electricity system operators, avoiding fuel cost and wear and tear incurred by cycling on and off gas-fired power plants,
