The above research on combined power generation systems only stays in dispatch optimization and configuration of energy storage capacity, and does not optimize the capacity configuration of other power sources in the power generation system, nor does it consider the fluctuation of the power grid caused by load uncertainty.
As of recently, there is not much research done on how to configure energy storage capacity and control wind power and energy storage to help with frequency regulation. Energy storage, like wind turbines, has the potential to regulate system frequency via extra differential droop control.
The energy storage system generating-side contribution is to enhance the wind plant's grid-friendly order to transport wind power in ways that can be operated such as traditional power stations. It must also be operated to make the best use of the restricted transmission rate. 3.2.2. ESS to assist system frequency regulation
