HONOLULU (AP) — An energy storage farm could replace Hawaii''s last coal-fired power plant that closed in 2022 after 30 years. The AES Corporation coal plant produced up to one-fifth of the electricity on Oahu — the most populous island in the state. Taking it offline meant an end to the 1.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gases that were emitted …

First Wind selected Younicos to provide a 10 MW, turnkey energy storage system to meet the power purchase agreement (PPA) requirements, and reduce curtailment. The storage system provides up to 10 MW of "up reserve" and 8 MW of "down reserve" capability -without adding any unneeded thermal generation to the grid.
This paper proposes a novel multi-objective planning framework to determine optimal capacity of battery energy storage system (BESS) for coordinated operation of large scale offshore wind farm (OWF) and BESS. Multiple objectives such as battery cost and lifetime, availability of wind turbines (WTs), expected energy not supplied (EENS), loss of load …
Details about the battery''s MWh energy storage capacity were not provided. The batteries will be primarily used to provide ramping services to smooth out wind power variability. The project is expected to be completed in the second half of 2018.
