TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of different energy systems and regulation strategies to integrate wind power is expressed by the following three factors: the degree of electricity excess production caused by fluctuations in wind and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) heat demands, the ability to utilise wind power to reduce CO2 emission in the system, and the benefit from exchange of electricity on the market.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the potential economic implications of using vehicle batteries to store grid electricity generated at off-peak hours for off-vehicle use during peak hours and found that the maximum annual profit with perfect market information and no battery degradation cost ranged from ∼US$140 to $250 in three U.S. cities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors model many combinations of renewable electricity sources (inland wind, offshore wind, and photovoltaics) with electrochemical storage (batteries and fuel cells), incorporated into a large grid system (72 GW).

TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental principles and modelling of the electrical generator and power electronic systems used in large wind turbines are described and the influence of wind turbines on power system operation and stability is discussed.
Abstract: With increasing concern over climate change and the security of energy supplies, wind power is emerging as an important source of electrical energy throughout the world. Modern wind turbines use advanced power electronics to provide efficient generator control and to ensure compatible operation with the power system. Wind Energy Generation describes the fundamental principles and modelling of the electrical generator and power electronic systems used in large wind turbines. It also discusses how they interact with the power system and the influence of wind turbines on power system operation and stability.
