In recent years, wind energy has increased its participation in the world energy mix. Besides its advantages, wind energy is not constant and presents undesired fluctuations,
Existing studies on the economics and potential of offshore wind power lacked the inter-annual variability of wind resources. Here, we established a levelized cost of shaped

Since wind conditions are not constant, wind energy can be stored by combining wind turbines with energy storage systems. These hybrid power plants allow for the efficient storage of excess wind power for later use.
As Wang et al. argue, energy storage can play a key role in supporting the integration of wind power into power systems. By automatically injecting and absorbing energy into and out of the grid by a change in frequency, ESS offers frequency regulations.
Wind turbines can be directly coupled with energy storage systems, efficiently storing excess wind power for later use. Without advancements in energy storage, the full potential of wind energy cannot be realized, limiting its role in future energy supply.
When choosing a wind turbine storage system, it is generally recommended to match the storage system size with the wind turbine’s capacity. A common recommendation is to use two-hour systems, referring to the time required to fully discharge the stored energy at the system’s rated power.
