Two energy storage systems were considered and compared numerically for a wave energy converter (WEe) con-nected to the power grid. The first system is an Electric Energy Storage System (EESS), and the second system is a Hydraulic Energy Storge System (HESS). A wave-to-wire numerical model of the WEC was developed considering both energy storage systems.

Through a case analysis, the total revenue of a traditional wind turbine equipped with a CAES system can be increased by 51%, and the total efficiency of the entire system is 74.5% within 5 days. 4. Conclusion At present, energy storage technologies applied in hydraulic wind turbines mainly focuses on hydraulic accumulators and compressed air.
On one hand, introducing the energy storage system into hydraulic wind power solves the problems caused by the randomness and volatility of wind energy on achieving the unit’s own functions, such as speed control, power tracking control, power smoothing, and frequency modulation control.
The energy in the system is stored in (E) hydraulically or pneumatically and extracted from (E) when necessary. Since hydraulic pumps/motors tend to have a higher power density than pneumatic compressors/expanders, the hydraulic path is usually used for high-power transient events, such as gusts or a sudden power demand.
