Abstract:

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is recognized as a viable solution to address variability and uncertainty in wind power generation. The performance of energy storage systems is significantly influenced by market conditions and regulatory frameworks, which directly affect the system's quality, reliability, efficiency, and environmental impact. CAES systems can operate independently to maximize profit or in synergy with wind power generation to fully utilize renewable energy resources, thereby achieving mutual benefits in the market. This study investigates the application and potential advantages of CAES in wind power systems with transmission constraints. A comprehensive model is developed to optimize operational strategies for wind energy and CAES, assessing the contributions of CAES to system reliability, efficiency, and environmental goals. The results highlight the benefits of integrating CAES in balancing wind power, enhancing system performance across various metrics. The proposed methods and findings offer valuable guidance for utilities and policymakers in formulating effective regulatory frameworks, promoting large-scale energy storage integration, supporting the expansion of renewable energy, and ensuring a reliable power supply for consumers.
