TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed power supply system is used to supply electric power to consumers within a prescribed region (a community) to demand or supply among the above consumers at a low cost and make the power system stabilized by these.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply electric power to plural consumers within a prescribed region (a community), some of which are equipped with distributed power supply systems, to demand or supply among the above consumers at a low cost and to make the power system stabilized by these. SOLUTION: Electrical energy is input to the distributed systems 4, which is installed in one of the consumers of plural 3a to 3n power provided inside the community, into the energy storage facility 6h or is output and is stored in the facility 6h. The sum of the purchased power and the generated power which are distributed to each consumer in the community as in response to respective demands, and the former power is purchased through the accounting service device and the latter is generated by distributed systems 4 inside the community C as a whole. If there is a difference between the sum of demand and the sum of supply, the power demand and supply control device 6d controls the operation of the systems 4, so as to regulate the power demand and supply to cancel the difference via the distributed power control device.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the mathematical modeling of compressed air energy storage (CAES) in obtaining mechanical power generated from expander, which is injected to a generator to generate electricity that will stabilize 2MW active power fluctuated caused by intermittent behavior of wind speed.
Abstract: This paper presents the mathematical modeling of Compressed Air Energy Storage, (CAES) in obtaining mechanical power generated from expander. Mechanical power is injected to a generator to generate electricity that will stabilize 2MW active power fluctuated caused by intermittent behavior of wind speed. The control system in maintaining dc-link voltage at constant value and control system in supplying generated power from CAES is also discussed here. The goals in using CAES are to smooth out the fluctuated power and increased low power integrated into the grid. This system is analyzed using SimPowerSystem of MATLAB/simulink. Results show that the jCAES is able to not only mitigate generated power but it also can promise constant power generated to grid even at low wind speed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the problems encountered by the developers of wind power generation projects and by utility grids when dealing with projects to integrate wind farms to power systems are discussed in general terms.
Abstract: Wind power generation is always weather dependent and has the trend of being integrated to power systems as the form of large-scale wind farms, which influences on power systems. Since the power network was not designed specifically to accommodate this type of generation, there are inevitably some points at which modifications must be executed if existing standards of electricity supply are to be maintained. This paper discusses in general terms the problems which are encountered by the developers of wind power generation projects and by utility grids when dealing with projects to integrate wind farms to power systems. The influence includes active and reactive power flow, voltage, system stability, power quality, short-circuit capacity, system reserve, frequency and protection due to the characteristics of high-capacity, dynamic and stochastic performance of wind power generation. Corresponding countermeasures to handle these issues are recommended in order to accommodate wind power generation in power systems.

TL;DR: The challenge for wind energy transmission can be viewed as a "chicken and egg" situation as discussed by the authors, where wind power is still a small player but growing rapidly in North America.
Abstract: Wind power is a mature participant in the power grids of Europe. In North America, however, wind power is still a small player but growing rapidly. As such, power grid operators in North America are just beginning to learn how to incorporate wind power into transmission grids and how to manage the variable power output of wind plants. The challenge for wind energy transmission can be viewed as a "chicken and egg" situation. Transmission owners are not currently able to build new high-voltage transmission lines to remote areas where there may be a high potential wind energy resource but little existing generation or load. Bottlenecks in high-load corridors typically have priority for the limited funds available for building new transmission lines. Wind plant developers, as a result, are not able to build new wind power plants in remote wind-rich areas unless there is a transmission line capable of transferring the plant output to major load centers. So today, wind developers find it necessary to locate wind plants in less-attractive wind regions that are closer to existing transmission lines with available capacity.
