Future Perspectives of the Technology Wind energy is a critical component of ACEP’s larger energy storage program objectives, both because many of the issues addressed as part of the program are unique to Alaska, and because the existing need is greatest in the energy sector based on total installed and planned projects. Technology that improves the reliability of wind or other intermittent renewable energy resources fits with efforts to enhance Alaska’s energy picture and improve energy security. The flow battery storage system can serve to minimize runtimes of diesel generators while improving the functionality of wind generation. The wind-diesel power system/flow battery integration, however, may still have room for improvement. The fundamental challenge is still the economics, and these batteries are still relatively expensive for their energy density, though this is expected to change as renewable energy becomes more common. The technical viability of a wind-coupled energy storage system is set for demonstration by the Alaska Center for Energy and Power at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where the 5 kW 20 kWh flow battery will be integrated with a 100 kW wind turbine simulator on a test bed platform1. The integrated approach will investigate benefits of such storage-coupled wind applications accrue in both directions: economic returns in specialized cases such as island systems, and providing ride-through and transient mitigation from the perspective of the wind plant during grid disturbances. 1 This decision has been taken on the premise that it is highly unlikely facilities at the Chukchi campus would support the battery; part of the concern is the extra infrastructural cost for a dedicated structure that complies with EPA regulations. Additionally, KEA is not keen on hosting the battery at their wind farm as they have already acquired the flow battery unit from Premium Power. vPDF Image | Advanced Battery Storage Systems Testing at ACEP VRB ESS
