As a number of wind power generation systems have been installed in power systems in the world, frequency fluctuations due to output power variations from wind farms have become a serious problem. Battery systems have been studied for smoothing the output variations and decreasing the resulting frequency fluctuations. Among these studies, efficient design of battery systems is one of the most important subjects from a point of view of cost. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the smoothing effect between the conventional moving average method and a new method based on frequency response analysis.
