Storage of wind power from floating wind turbines for the first time

The Norwegian oil company Statoil has announced that it will stores the energy that produces a floating wind park in …
Scotland in a powerful system of energy storage in batteries.
The innovative pilot project is based on a lithium battery adequacy of a Μεγαβατώρας which corresponds to “more than two million iPhones,” says Statoil.
The specialized website Recharge refers to the work as “a storage system with a battery that can potentially change the energy landscape”.
The batteries are at the heart of research and development in the energy sector and considered necessary for the further penetration and integration of RES in the energy networks. The producers of renewable energy will use the stored energy to directly address surges in demand or to provide loads during the calm days and low levels of sunshine.
The pilot project of Statoil will be installed by 2018 and is connected with the first floating wind farm in the world that will put into operation one year earlier, in 2017. The park consists of five wind turbines Hywind with a total power of 30 Megawatts, is located 25 kilometers from the eastern shores of the Πήτερχεντ of Scotland.
“The storage of energy in batteries would mitigate the intermittent production of αιολικξς energy and will optimize the generated loads,” says the Norwegian colossus.
“This can improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of offshore wind energy” he added.
The system Batwind, developed jointly by universities and providers of electricity in Scotland.
