Battery Storage System for Frequency Stabilization of AC Networks with High Penetration of Renewable Power

This paper investigates the uses of battery energy storage system (BESS) in ac networks highly populated with wind power generation. The investigation includes power system load leveling, frequency stabilization, and provision of reactive power support to the wind farm network. The BESS is connected to the wind farm main hub via voltage source converter, while the wind farm is connected to ac n...

A Game Theoretical Approach Based Bidding Strategy Optimization for Power Producers in Power Markets with Renewable Electricity

In a competitive electricity market with substantial involvement of renewable electricity, maximizing profits by optimizing bidding strategies is crucial to different power producers including conventional power plants and renewable ones. This paper proposes a game-theoretic bidding optimization method based on bi-level programming, where power producers are at the upper level and utility compa...
