TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to use sunlight generating power, midnight power, and ordinary power in order of lower-cost, and making full use of the sun's power.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain significant cost reduction by using sunlight generating power, midnight power, and ordinary power in order of lower-cost, and making full use of sunlight generating power. SOLUTION: Power obtained by a sunlight generating apparatus 9, midnight power of an external system 1, and ordinary power are compared with each other in cost, and low-cost power is supplied to housing electrical equipment 3, a housing storage battery 5 and a vehicle storage battery 21 for an electric vehicle 20 with high priority. The excess of the sunlight generating power is supplied to the external system 1 for the sale of electric power, so that it is possible to attain significant cost reduction. COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO

TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of renewable generation on electricity demand characteristics have been analyzed from annual and seasonal changes of load duration curves after integrating renewable resources such as photovoltaic, wind, small hydro, biomass and biogas.
Abstract: In response to variation generation of renewable resources, it is necessary to assess the impacts on electricity demand characteristics. Renewable resources under consideration are photovoltaic, wind, small hydro, biomass, and biogas. It is proposed to treat renewable generation as negative load. Electricity demand is characterized by using peak demand, energy demand, and load factor as well as it is divided into three groups: peak, intermediate, and base. Variation of renewable generation is expressed through a concept of net load. Changes of demand characteristics can be analyzed from annual and seasonal changes of load duration curves after integrating renewable resources. The impacts on demand characteristics and load groups have meaningful implication on operating costs. Numerical results were obtained by using hourly load data and generation portfolio of Thailand.

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the state-of-the-art short-term energy storage devices and several applications which can be provided by the energy storage device is presented.
Abstract: The penetration of wind power into the power system has been increasing in the recent years. Therefore, a lot of concerns related to the reliable operation of the power system have been addressed. An attractive solution to minimize the limitations faced by the wind power grid integration, and thus to increase the power system stability and the energy quality, is to integrate energy storage devices into wind power plants. This paper gives an overview of the state-of-the-art short-term energy storage devices and presents several applications which can be provided by the energy storage device — wind power plant combined system. Moreover, two methods for estimating the remaining useful lifetime of the energy storage devices are presented.
