1 Wind Turbine Energy Storage
Wind power generation is not periodic or correlated to the demand cycle. The solution is energy storage. Figure 1: Example of a two week period of system loads, system loads minus wind
To expand on the grid support capabilities of wind-storage hybrids, GE conducted a study on wind power plants with integrated storage on each turbine rather than central storage, along with an extra inverter and transformer for redundancy (Miller 2014). There are always some trade-offs involved in choosing a storage topology.

Wind energy, with its existing potential, has a structure that can be developed alongside battery systems 52. Hybrid wind storage systems are complex structures developed to balance fluctuations in wind energy production and improve energy efficiency. These systems typically include a wind power plant and a battery storage system.
This allows for a comparison between the previous and enhanced states of a battery facility used in the energy sector. The impact of energy storage systems on wind energy production and the applicability of these systems have been exemplified in detail.
