The Role of Energy Storage in Wind Energy Technology
Abstract: Wind energy is a promising source of renewable energy that has gained increasing attention in recent years. However, wind power generation faces the challenge of intermittent, which can lead to fluctuations in power supply and demand. The solution to this challenge lies in energy storage technologies, which can store excess wind energy during periods of high wind and release it when needed. Energy storage systems (ESS) have an important role …
