The paper reviews different approaches, technologies, and strategies to manage large-scale
schemes of variable renewable electricity such as solar and wind power. We consider both …

The pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is a well-established and commercially-
acceptable technology for utility-scale electricity storage and has been used since as early …

Expansion planning models are often used to support investment decisions in the power
sector. Towards the massive insertion of renewable energy sources, expansion planning of …

This paper examines the operation of the Irish power system with very high levels of wind
energy, with and without pumped storage. A unit commitment model which accounts for the …

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) could be paired with a wind farm to provide firm,
dispatchable baseload power, or serve as a peaking plant and capture upswings in …

Pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS) is the main utility-scale storage technology. Although
PHS systems generally constitute a fraction of generation, they receive increasing attention …

Wind turbines and other unsteady power producing systems can benefit substantially by
integrating inexpensive and easily sited Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) to provide …

This paper introduces a methodology for incorporating metrics for electric-sector reliability
into a global Integrated Assessment Model. Using load, resource availability, and system …

The integration of high shares of variable renewable energy raises challenges for the
reliability and cost-effectiveness of power systems. The value of long-duration energy …

In this paper, the topic of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is discussed and a
program in which it is being applied to a wind turbine system for leveling power supplied to …
