Abstract
The WEC and TEC are modeled based on measured and simulated wind and tidal speed data respectively. An ESS is modeled to de-couple the TEC output from the grid demand. A curtailment analysis is conducted for various ESS capacity and power sizes to determine the economic benefit. Avoidance of all curtailment requires nearly 7Â MWh of storage. Significant economic benefit may be found by reducing the ESS to less than 3Â MWh, resulting in minor curtailment.
