Due to the variable nature of wind resources, the integration of wind power into electric power system has been a relevant issue. Recently, pumped hydro energy storage can be used to balance the unstable output of wind farm, as it can adjust its production to compensate wind power fluctuation. This article investigated the combination of a wind farm and a pumped hydro energy storage facility from the point of view of a generation company in a market environment. A joint operation model between the wind farm and pumped hydro energy storage is proposed. An algorithm of energy management system is proposed to identify the daily operational strategy to be followed in order to (1) minimize the penalty cost resulted from wind-pumped hydro energy storage output imbalances and (2) maximize the daily revenue profit taking into consideration all constraints of joint operation. Simulation results under MATLAB/Simulink® environment are presented and discussed.
