Optimizing Hybrid Energy Storage in Offshore Wind Farms with a Focus on Extending Storage Life

This paper presents an innovative approach to optimizing hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) in offshore wind farms, with a particular focus on extending the storage’s lifetime. We introduce a novel optimization model that integrates the complexities of offshore wind energy generation with the dynamic characteristics of multiple energy storage technologies. The model aims to maximize the efficiency and reliability of energy storage by effectively balancing the load between different storage units, thereby mitigating the degradation of storage components and prolonging their operational lifespan. The results demonstrate that our optimized HESS not only improves the overall performance of offshore wind systems but also significantly reduces the long-term operational and maintenance costs by extending the storage units’ lifetime.
