Optimal energy management of a residential grid-interactive Wind Energy Conversion System with battery storage.

Abstract In this paper, an optimal energy management model of a 2 kW residential grid-interactive Wind Energy Conversion System with battery storage is presented. For this purpose, a mathematical model describing the system's optimal operation is developed. Thereafter, the performance of the developed model is analyzed in the South African context using Matlab. For the selected residential case study, the simulation results have shown that up to 95% daily operation cost reduction is achievable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
