Wind energy battery storage, phase 2
Abstract
The wind energy battery storage (WEBS) project performed by the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) is a research and development effort funded by the US Department of Energy (USDOE) through the Sandia National Laboratories at Albuquerque (SNLA) battery storage program. The three phase project is intended to design and construct a battery storage system that will be used in conjunction with wind power generating systems for connective to a utility grid serving a small community (Molokai Island). In Phase 2, major efforts included expanding and improving the computer model to include interaction with the utility, collection of additional wind and load data, updating our information on WEBS components, final design of a battery storage facility, and application of the simulation of various configurations and operating strategies.
