Summary

In this work, the optimal design of a hybrid energy complex, including wind turbines, an internal combustion engine, and an adiabatic compressed air energy storage system is investigated. A novel bi-level optimization strategy is proposed for optimizing the capacity and operational power of each component of the system based on techno-economic considerations. The article presents information and discussions about the impacts of the partial-load operation of the energy storage system components on the optimal rated power and working strategies. The off-design characteristics are proven to have a huge negative impact on the efficiency and economy of the hybrid system. The efficiency reduction of the compressed air energy storage system is about 21% in summer and 8.9% in winter, when the system is operating in partial-load conditions. The operation cost of the system is reduced significantly when carrying out the proposed bi-level optimization strategy.
