Abstract:
Method, system, and computer program product for estimating a consumed battery life of a battery used in a wind energy application. An energy storage system for use with a wind farm includes a rechargeable battery configured to be selectively charged by wind turbines or the power grid and configured to be selectively discharged to a power grid. One or more remaining battery life algorithms are used to compute a consumed battery life for the battery. A battery life curve characteristic of the battery and a state of charge profile are used as inputs to each remaining battery life algorithm.
