Decentralized Energy Systems, Based on Renewable Energy Sources

详细

The article provides information on the worldwide development of decentralized energy systems which are created on the basis of utilizing, distributing and storing renewable energy, using smart control systems, about energy storage in various energy storage systems, including pumped storage power plants considered one of the most efficient energy storage units. The map of a decentralized power system, based on a wind energy, a photovoltaic, and a pumped storage plant (PSP) is proposed; the methods of making estimates to determine its parameters are given. The article also provides the results of simplified estimates made to determine the main parameters of a 5 MW decentralized power system based on a wind power and a PSP, which prove the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed map.
