With the rapid integration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, multiple types of energy storage technologies have been widely used to improve renewable energy generation and promote the development of sustainable energy systems. As one of multiple energy complementary route by adopting the electrolysis technology, the wind-solar-hydrogen. .

Startups in Houston have developed a technology that utilizes fracking-like techniques to create underground storage caverns for pressurized water. This stored energy can then be released to drive turbines and generate power for the grid. When it's sunny and windy out, in many places these renewables produce more electricity than is actually needed at the time.

This paper deals with the control of a standalone DFIG-based Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) by using a three-level Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) converter. . Wind power systems, which are currently being constructed for the electricity worldwide market, are mostly based on Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). The traditional two-stage conversion process, involving rectification and inversion connected by a DC-link. . In addition to the application of multilevel converters, it is possible to increase the voltage and power levels employing an open-end winding (OEW) connection to the generator.
