Abstract: In recent years, growing attention has been paid to the use of renewable resources to produce electricity. One of the main drawbacks of generating electricity through wind power is the randomness of input, which obviously results in a random output of energy. This means that peak output does not always coincide with peak demand. Nevertheless, demand drives prices, making output regulation essential. Thus, improvements in energy management aimed at satisfying demand and increasing profits need to include output regulation mechanisms. This calls for the introduction of new equipment for energy storage and new management strategies.
