Abstract

Wind and solar energy storage technology is a popular subject of current energy production and storage, which has got a lot of public attention recently. Some researchers have found that wind and solar energy storage technology can reduce the environmental pollution caused by electricity production to a certain degree. However, wind and solar energy storage technology still has a series of problems recently. For example, its output is unstable, which leads to the volatility and intermittent of its energy generation. What’s more, the level of resources utilization is not so high. Hence, this text aims at researching the ability of smoothing output fluctuation by optimization of capacity configuration technology for wind and solar energy storage technology. By collecting the data of the level of energy utilization, running cost of the power grid and power loss rate after applying the optimization of capacity configuration technology and comparing them with the one without using it, the results indicates that after using the optimization of capacity configuration technology, the level of energy utilization of the power grid becomes higher. At the same time, the running cost and the power loss rate grew lower to a certain degree.
