METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HYBRID WIND POWER GENERATION
First Claim
1. A method for optimizing a hybrid wind system comprising a wind farm having a plurality of wind turbines and one or more energy storage units, the method comprising:
- acquiring actual wind power data associated with one or more dispatch windows;
determining forecasted wind farm power estimates corresponding to the one or more dispatch windows using a plurality of forecast schemes;
computing difference values by comparing the forecasted wind farm power estimates to the actual wind power data;
identifying a wind power forecast scheme based at least in part on the computed difference values; and
balancing a penalty to the grid with life consumption of the one or more energy storage units while regulating the wind turbines and the one or more energy storage units based at least in part on a subsequent forecasted wind farm power estimate generated using the identified wind power forecast scheme.

Abstract
A method for optimizing a hybrid wind system including a wind farm having a plurality of wind turbines and one or more energy storage units, is presented. The method includes acquiring actual wind power data associated with one or more dispatch windows. The method includes determining forecasted wind farm power estimates corresponding to the dispatch windows using a plurality of forecast schemes. The method includes computing difference values by comparing the forecasted wind farm power estimates to the actual wind power data. The method includes identifying a wind power forecast scheme based at least in part on the computed difference values and balancing a penalty to the grid with life consumption of the energy storage units while regulating the wind turbines and the energy storage units based at least in part on a subsequent forecasted wind farm power estimate generated using the identified wind power forecast scheme.
