The hydraulic energy storage system enables the wind turbine to have the ability to quickly adjust the output power, effectively suppress the medium- and high-frequency components of wind power fluctuation, reduce the disturbance of the generator to the grid frequency, and improve the power quality of the generator.
Hydraulic storage is significant because it fulfills a variety of roles in reinforcing renewable energy sources (RES) for services with different timeframes of operability: instantaneous, daily, or seasonally. These storage options are not only essential for developing multiple renewable energy sources, but also for ensuring continuity of supply and increasing energy autonomy.
For the role of energy storage systems in hydraulic wind turbine generators, the following aspects can be summarized. Hydraulic accumulators play a significant role in solving the ‘fluctuation’ of wind energy. It mainly specializes in a steady system speed, optimal power tracking, power smoothing, and frequency modulation of the power systems.
Battery energy storage and flywheel energy storage are mainly used for peak shaving and valley filling of system energy, which improves the quality of power generation. For the selection of the energy storage mode in a hydraulic wind turbine, when solving the problem of ‘fluctuating’ wind energy, hydraulic accumulators should still be the mainstay.
The energy in the system is stored in (E) hydraulically or pneumatically and extracted from (E) when necessary. Since hydraulic pumps/motors tend to have a higher power density than pneumatic compressors/expanders, the hydraulic path is usually used for high-power transient events, such as gusts or a sudden power demand.
Hydraulic storage has been used in Switzerland since the creation of the first local electricity networks at the end of the 19 th century to compensate for the time lag between hydraulic production, which is relatively constant throughout the day, and consumption, linked to the operation of industries.
