Revolutionizing Wind Energy with Advanced BESS Solutions
How Enercap's Supercapacitor Technology is Empowering Sustainable Energy Projects
Overview of Al iağa Wind Power Plant
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT:
- The Aliağa Wind Power Plant in İzmirProvince, Turkey, consists of four fields operated by various companies. With 83 wind turbines and a total capacity of 193 MW, the plant generates approximately 480 GWh annually.
- To integrate a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to store excess wind energy, stabilize the grid, and optimize energy dispatch.
Challenges Faced by Wind Energy Plants
Key Points:
- Intermittency: Wind energy production fluctuates due to variable wind speeds.
- Grid Stability: Difficulty maintaining frequency and voltage stability during high wind penetration.
- Curtailment Issues: Energy generation may exceed grid capacity, leading to wastage.
- Inefficient Energy Utilisation: Lack of storage limits the ability to supply power during peak demand.
