Can you store energy from an offshore wind farm?

With Batwind in operation, it will for the first time be possible to store energy produced from an offshore wind farm. The battery storage solution was presented in Peterhead, Scotland today by Batwind partners Equinor and Masdar.

Are battery storage systems co-located with wind turbines a good choice?

This is an appropriate and critical quantification of the battery; however, for a storage system co-located and integrated with a plant, it is important to also consider the battery storage capacity relative to the plant power. Thus far, battery storage systems co-located with wind turbines are small relative to turbine power generation.

Can a battery be placed within a substructure of a wind turbine?

Such a change in perspective is important for an integrated system with energy storage and generation. A concept is proposed to place the battery within the substructure of offshore wind turbines. By co-locating, simulations indicate that the line size can be reduced to 4 MW with about 4 h of storage, and reduced to 3 MW with about 12 h of storage.

What is the best energy storage option for offshore wind turbines?

Low-cost, long-duration energy storage is needed for renewable energy integration. Liquid metal battery storage may be preferred option over Li-ion storage. Integrating battery directly into offshore wind turbine has potential cost savings. Electrical line sizes can be reduced by 20% with 4 h of storage capacity.

Can battery storage be used to control wind energy generation?

Thus, if battery storage is going to be used to significantly levelize and control wind energy generation for day-to-day operation, then new storage options will be needed that are operable over much longer durations in the context of storage capacity relative to the plant average or rated power.

Can a co-located battery be used in offshore wind turbines?

To investigate a co-located system, the battery capacity is quantified relative to the average plant power rather than the battery rated power. Such a change in perspective is important for an integrated system with energy storage and generation. A concept is proposed to place the battery within the substructure of offshore wind turbines.
