In order to analyze the influential factors of the energy storage size accurately with wind power fluctuation mitigation
we adopted a model predictive control(MPC) method as the control strategy with the identical grid-connected fluctuation rate constraints. Firstly
different fluctuation rate constraints and fluctuation mitigation sequences were considered
and the reasonable fluctuation rate and mitigation sequences could be obtained. Additionally
different time scales of wind power and state of charge(SOC) of energy storage were analyzed
and the credible energy storage capacity could be acquired. Finally
the wind power with different amplitudes and frequencies was analyzed
and the wind power type with larger energy storage capacity could be identified. The simulation results show that different energy storage sizes are required according to different fluctuation rate and mitigation sequences. Energy storage size is related to the maximum wind power fluctuation rate and the maximum energy change of energy storage besides initial SOC and SOC operating range of energy storage. The wind power with larger fluctuation rate and low frequency generally needs more energy storage size.
