In , the hybridization of wind generation with the introduction of pumped hydro storage systems is investigated. The findings indicate that these integrated storage and RES facilities have the potential to facilitate increased renewable penetration levels in islands without compromising system stability.
Centrally managed storage facilities in island power systems dominate the relevant literature. Table 4 includes the papers dealing with the centrally managed storage concept. Table S2 of the Supplementary data and Fig. 7 present additional details for the most representative ones.
The review process identified three main storage typologies suitable for deployment in island systems: (a) storage coupled with RES within a hybrid power station, (b) centrally managed standalone storage installations, and (c) behind-the-meter storage installations. Of particular interest are the former two, which dominate the relevant literature.
Specifically, the research team of [60, 175, 176] argues that the small island systems can operate effectively under high RES penetration levels either by deploying battery energy storages to alleviate RES variations or by imposing the diesel generators to operate below their technical minimum loading levels, down to zero, to perform the same task.
