Abstract

To address the issue of excessive grid-connected power fluctuations in wind farms, this paper proposes a capacity optimization method for a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) based on wind power two-stage decomposition. First, considering the susceptibility of traditional k-means results to initial cluster center positions, the k-means++ algorithm was used to cluster the annual wind power, with the optimal number of clusters determined by silhouette coefficient and Davies–Bouldin Index. The overall characteristics of each cluster and the cumulative fluctuations were considered to determine typical daily data. Subsequently, improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN) was used to decompose the original wind power data for typical days, yielding both the grid-connected power and the HESS power. To leverage the advantages of power-type and energy-type storage while avoiding mode aliasing, the improved pelican optimization algorithm—variational mode decomposition (IPOA-VMD) was applied to decompose the HESS power, enabling accurate distribution of power for different storage types. Finally, a capacity optimization model for a HESS composed of lithium batteries and supercapacitors was developed. Case studies showed that the two-stage decomposition strategy proposed in this paper could effectively reduce grid-connected power fluctuations, better utilize the advantages of different energy storage types, and reduce HESS costs.
