Iceland is flush with green energy. Does it want to be Europe''s battery
One report estimated that Iceland could produce about 847 gigawatts of wind power from offshore turbines alone, enough to power 1.7 billion Icelandic homes. The well of

In this paper, standalone operation of wind energy power generation and storage is discussed. The storage is implemented using supercapacitor, battery, dump load and synchronous condenser. The system is simulated for different power generation and storage capacity. The system is regulated to provide required voltage.
To meet the power demand, the wind generator operates to generate power. When the power demand can be met with the wind energy generation, energy storage system is not supplying power to the load . If the demand is more than the wind power generator, energy storage system is operated along with windmill.
When the power demand can be met with the wind energy generation, energy storage system is not supplying power to the load . If the demand is more than the wind power generator, energy storage system is operated along with windmill. The demand can be met exactly with the operation of both windmill operation and battery storage system .
The basic block diagram of the windmill power generation system with energy storage system is shown in Fig. 1. The block diagram shows that the windmill is used to convert the wind power to electrical power, and it is rectified using rectifier to convert ac into dc signal.
