In this paper, we propose a high-level Stochastic steady-state model to analyze the value of co-located energy storage systems for wind power producers that participate in an electricity market through Forward or Day Ahead contracts.In particular, we try to find optimal sizing and contracting and stationary operating policies for profit maximization in the longrun. We obtain a stylized model calibrated to actual wind power production and electricity wholesale price data that allows us to asses the value of storage size and perform sensitivity analysis on key parameters such as contract prices, storage cost and storage efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
