Wind Turbine Storage Systems

Wind power intelligent energy storage system that improves flexibility and efficiency of wind power generation by integrating battery and supercapacitor storage with predictive discharge optimization. The system allows storing excess wind-generated electricity in the battery when winds are strong, and discharging it when winds are weak to smooth out variability. This improves wind power stability compared to direct connection to the grid. The supercapacitor provides fast response for short-term energy needs. The system predicts load demands and optimizes battery discharge levels to maintain constant output.

Wind turbine energy storage control method to improve grid stability and wind power generation efficiency using flywheels and supercapacitors. The method involves monitoring the grid frequency and adjusting the wind turbine power output using the flywheel and supercapacitor storage. If grid frequency is low, the flywheel provides additional power. If grid frequency is high, the supercapacitor discharges excess wind power. This balances grid frequency and prevents instability. By actively managing wind turbine power with energy storage, it improves grid stability and utilizes wind energy more efficiently.

Collaborative control of wind turbine generator sets with integrated energy storage systems to improve wind power stability and grid integration. The control method involves dynamically managing the energy storage device charging and discharging based on the wind turbine operating conditions and energy storage level. If the storage level is within a normal range, it charges/discharges to meet turbine needs. If outside, it adjusts based on the deviation. This allows optimizing storage use for turbine and storage needs. The method also coordinates turbine converters for voltage regulation, inertia, frequency support, and storage management.

A wind farm design with onsite hydrogen production and export to mitigate power fluctuations and avoid long-distance transmission costs. The wind turbines have electrolysis units to generate hydrogen using excess wind power. The hydrogen is exported via a shared above-sea-level manifold rather than subsea connections. This allows easier maintenance and prevents corrosion compared to underwater connections. The manifold connects the turbine hydrogen outputs to a common pipeline for transporting the hydrogen produced by the wind farm. This eliminates the need for individual subsea connections from each turbine. The manifold can be housed in a container or installed at the turbine platform or tower.

Control system and method for grid-connected wind turbines with energy storage to optimize power generation and grid stability. The system allows grid-connected wind turbines to provide grid inertia support while avoiding battery overcharge/discharge. When battery charge is normal, the storage unit provides inertia response. If battery charge is abnormal, the wind turbine itself absorbs/releases energy to maintain grid inertia. This prevents over/undercharging the battery while still enabling grid inertia support.

Wind power energy storage device that mitigates intermittency and volatility of wind power generation by using an energy storage unit to store excess wind power when the grid doesn't need it. When wind power is high but grid demand is low, the device directs the wind turbine to send power to the storage unit instead of the grid. This allows the turbine to operate at full capacity even when grid demand is low, reducing curtailment. When the storage is full, the turbine disconnects from the grid to self-peak without exporting power. This improves wind power utilization and grid stability by smoothing out the turbine's output.

A wind power storage system that optimizes wind energy harvesting by intelligently managing the storage module's charging and discharging. The system includes a wind turbine, an energy storage system, and a controller. The controller determines when to charge or discharge the storage based on real-time wind conditions. This prevents wasting generated wind power when the turbine is operating in high wind conditions. When winds are low, the controller discharges the stored energy to supplement the turbine output. This allows the storage system to intelligently optimize power flow between storage and turbine to maximize overall power generation.

Controlling and coordinating operations of a cluster of fluid turbines to improve efficiency and compliance with grid requirements under variable fluid conditions. The method involves storing energy generated below grid threshold levels in a cluster of turbines instead of supplying it to the grid. When turbine output exceeds the grid threshold, the stored energy is released to supplement the grid supply. This allows turbines to continue generating power even in low fluid conditions that fall below grid requirements.

Wind power generation system that balances output by directly converting wind energy into electrolysis energy. The system uses a wind turbine, generator, and battery pack. During low wind, the turbine only charges the battery. During high wind, the turbine charges the battery and generates power. This avoids overproduction. The battery pack has an annular shape with cathode and anode chambers separated by a diaphragm. The rotating turbine shaft drives the chambers, generating induced currents between the batteries. This converts wind energy into electrolysis energy without extra converters.

Compact energy storage system integrated into wind turbines to address intermittency issues of wind power generation. The system uses the wind turbine structure itself to store excess electricity generated during high winds. It involves installing a battery pack, inverter, and cabinet on the tower. When wind speeds exceed turbine capacity, the inverter diverts excess power to the battery instead of wasting it. During low winds, the battery provides supplementary power to the grid. The battery pack is charged/discharged using a small inverter that adapts voltage to prevent damage to the battery modules. This allows efficient energy storage and release within the turbine, avoiding separate storage units and transmission losses.

Hydraulic system for wind turbines that replaces the mechanical gearbox with a hydraulic pump and motor. The hydraulic system provides a more compact, lightweight, and durable alternative to gearboxes that lasts longer and requires less maintenance. The system uses a radial piston pump with a multi-lobe concentric cam to convert the low speed rotation of the wind turbine blades into hydraulic energy. This hydraulic energy is then used to drive a hydraulic motor connected to the generator. The radial piston design allows a high number of large diameter pistons in a compact space. The cam produces multiple strokes per revolution to maximize output. The pump also integrates the reservoir and pressure tank into the body for a compact design.

Backup power system for wind turbines that uses the converter of the turbine itself to provide backup power during grid outages. The system consists of a battery, DC/DC converter, DC/AC converter, and pre-charging unit. The battery is connected to the DC converters which charge the DC bus of the turbine converter. During grid outages, the DC/DC converter provides backup power to the turbine's control systems. The DC/AC converter powers the turbine loads. This leverages the existing turbine converter for energy storage to maintain critical systems and prevent failures during grid outages.

New energy power generation system with energy storage that has stable and reliable power output even when wind speeds fluctuate. The system uses a hybrid control approach with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) on the generator side and virtual synchronous control (VSC) on the grid side. An energy storage system is connected between the generator and grid. The MPPT extracts maximum power from the wind turbine regardless of wind speed, while the VSC simulates a synchronous generator to actively generate grid voltage. The storage system balances power fluctuations between the generator and grid. This allows stable power output even with variable wind speeds and grid loads.
