With increasing amounts of wind power generation installed, the steep fluctuation of wind power generation output, called ramp events, causes serious problems for power system operation. Controlling fluctuations is an important issue for increasing the amount of wind power generation as a wind farm (WF) in the future. The authors reported the scheduled operation method of WF using a battery energy storage system (BESS) and forecast data of wind power generation output. In this paper, the authors propose a new scheduled operation method of WF. In particular, we propose the application of deep reinforcement learning to decide the output schedule of WF. Moreover, we compare the conventional method, the reinforcement learning method, and the deep reinforcement learning method in terms of the number of ramp events. In addition, we calculate the reducing effect of the storage capacity of BESS. © 2021 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.
