Development of GUI and Simulink for Determination of Storage System Capacity for Wind Power Generation

Abstract

The capacity of battery storage system (BESS) for wind power generation is computed. Battery characterstics and cost for power dispatched is described. For the design of battery energy storage system a graphical user interface and simulation has been developed. Proposed method allows observing, analyzing and calculating the capacity and cost of battery energy storage system so as to determine life cost of battery system for time period. A GUI (Graphical User Interface) figure file is built in MATLAB for determination of battery power, battery energy cost for power dispatch. Simulation shows the respective characterstics of battery switching and operation. Wind power has quality of not being steady and the solution to this gives steady dispatched power to grid. A capacitor is used to smoothing DC-link voltage.
