Balancing Fluctuating Wind Energy with Fossil Power Stations: Where are the limits?
October, 2002
by W. Leonhard & K. Muller
Summary:
Wind energy, fed to the grid to save
resources and reduce emissions,
requires control power for balancing
fluctuations; this causes fuel losses in
thermal power stations and limits the
degree of energy substitution. Facilities
for energy storage are needed
when greatly extending wind power
use off-shore, at the same time generating
secondary fuel for stationary
and mobile applications.
