Abstract

Conversion system of wind energy has become a focal point in the search for renewable energy sources. This article then exhibits a study of the overall operation of a wind generator to provide a constant power or variable the consumer demand while providing services system. In order to provide system services, we consider a variable speed wind turbine coupled to a double-fed induction generator (DFIG) combined with energy storage system. We consider the Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) based on fuzzy logic controlled by IM. Due to the use of power converters, The double fed induction Generator and the storage system are electrically coupled  by a DC bus. Simulation results showing the benefits of using energy storage.
