Optimization of Pumped Storage Plant (PSP) with Wind-Solar Hybrids

Image
  Optimization of Pumped Storage Plant (PSP) with Wind-Solar Hybrids -  Sgurrenergy Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are crucial for sustainability, but their variable nature can lead to wasted energy and curtailment. Curtailment, which restricts power off-take, remains a persistent challenge for renewable developers. The intra-hour variability of solar and wind energy sources poses challenges for their seamless integration into the grid. Solar energy generation is influenced by factors such as cloud cover and shading, causing fluctuations in output within short time intervals. Similarly, wind energy generation is affected by wind-speed/direction variations, resulting in intermittent power supply. Figure 1 illustrates the intra-hour variability of solar irradiation and wind speed for a certain day of the year. The high variability of these renewable sources can strain grid stability, necessitating advanced forecasting, grid management, and energy storage solu...
