The Role of Corporate Renewable Power Purchase Agreements in Supporting US Wind and Solar Deployment
In recent years, many of the world''s biggest corporations, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple, have pledged to power their businesses with increasing amounts of renewable energy in order to reduce their carbon footprints and contribute to efforts to address climate change.
A review of energy storage technologies for wind power applications
A FESS is an electromechanical system that stores energy in form of kinetic energy. A mass rotates on two magnetic bearings in order to decrease friction at high speed, coupled with an electric machine. The entire structure is placed in a vacuum to reduce wind shear [118], [97], [47], [119], [234].
Optimal Energy Storage Sizing and Control for Wind Power Applications
The variable output of a large wind farm presents many integration challenges, especially at high levels of penetration. The uncertainty in the output of a large wind plant can be covered by using fast-acting dispatchable sources, such as natural gas turbines or hydro generators. However, using dispatchable sources on short notice to
