Capacity planning of battery energy storage system within wind farm

The capacity planning of a battery energy storage system (BESS) in a wind farm is proposed, which considered a coordinated operational dispatch strategy for a wind farm with BESS. The planning objective is based on the minimum deviation value of wind farm power output as referenced. The most significant advantage in the proposed model is that the lifetime of BESS and forecasting error of wind power are considered. The planning model finally can be resolved by the particle swarm optimization. The case studies are used to validate the performance of the proposed model.
