Wind energy curtailment utilisation with a storage technology: applying cost-benefit base analysis in Scottish wind farms

Growing concern about global warming has been revealing its impact gradually over the last decade. Excessive use of fossil fuels has been shown as one of the most significant reason of the global warming. As a mitigation measure, deployment of renewable energy resources is appeared to be an essential energy option. In the last decade, the world witnessed the considerable deployement of the renewable energy resources to meet energy need and wind energy has a vital role within this change. However, as the use of renewable energy sources grows up, coming across some challenges having an impact on the supply and demand balance is inevitable. As the wind energy is non-dispatchable resource, minimizing wind energy curtailment is an important part to harness wind energy efficiently. Deployment of storage technologies for wind energy with supporting policies could help to use wind energy wisely.
