Abstract

A process for simultaneously providing capacity sale services (e.g. frequency regulation or voltage regulation), energy sale services (energy transfer from off-peak hours to peak hours), and stabilization services of a renewable plant may be provided. The process includes determining the values of energy quantity to be produced by the plant during a near future time interval. The process may also include introducing the values of energy quantity, in the control unit. Generating an hourly program of energy supply to be provided by the energy accumulator unit to the network may also be performed, depending on the values of energy to be produced, which stabilizes the power supplied by the plant to the network. Furthermore, the frequency and the voltage of the network may be regulated as well as transfers the energy between off-peak hours and peak hours, or from hours with saturation of the network to hours without saturation.
