Review of storage schemes for wind energy systems
Hasan, Nor Shahida; Hassan, Mohammad Yusri; Majid, Md Shah - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 21 (2013) C, pp. 237-247
Wind Energy is a fast developing source of energy since 1996. Despite its advantages, this energy could never be a primary source of electric power to be integrated into the grid even in high wind areas, such as Great Plains, due to its intermittent behaviour. This intermittency will generate...
