  • Method for controlling power ramps with prediction in intermittent power generation plants
    Patent number: 11387657
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling power ramps with prediction in intermittent power generation plants, such as, for example, a photovoltaic solar plant, which minimizes the storage capacity required for compliance with the maximum ramp requirements for power fluctuation as well as the cycling of said storage systems, thus extending its lifespan and also reducing associated energy losses, thus reducing investment costs in the plant, such that, in order to achieve the same maximum fluctuation ramp, a minor use is made of the energy storage system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2022
    Assignee: ACCIONA ENERGIA, S.A.
    Inventors: Eugenio Guelbenzu Michelena, Asun Padros Razquin, Raquel Rojo Ochoa, Luis Marroyo Palomo, Javier Marcos Alvarez, Inigo De La Parra Laita, Miguel Garcia Solano

  • Method for the control of power ramp-rates minimizing power storage requirements in intermittent power generation plants
    Patent number: 10509386
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for the control of power ramp-rates minimizing energy storage requirements in intermittent power generation plants, such as for example a photovoltaic solar plant, which minimizes the energy storage requirements approximately halving the size of storage systems necessary to comply with a maximum allowable ramp-rate given by a grid code regulation regarding the state of the art, reducing thus investment costs in the plant and/or carrying out a rationalized use of the energy storage system, in such a way that in order to achieve the same maximum fluctuation ramp, a minor use is done of the energy storage system, minimizing the losses and extending its working life, and therefore reducing the plant operational costs.
