Sizing Energy Storage Systems to Dispatch Wind Power Plants

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

1) The paper lacks originality; in fact, the approaches are well-known, and the literature contains numerous related works. The motivation for the work is not clear. The authors should clarify their originality (innovation).

2) What are the shortcomings (limitations) of this method? More detailed analyses and discussions on this are necessary. I would also like to see a frank discussion of the limitations.

3)  The authors must make a better effort at referencing the significant papers. There are several papers published in MDPI dealing with the subject that are not cited.

4) The authors should consider:

- Improvements such as integrating ramping rate constraints and power flow equations,

- Exploring other optimization methods, using ambiguity sets based on data,

- Carrying out additional numerical studies and exploring other aspects of the problem.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The problem is mathematically well formulated.

It is not easy to understand the conclusions from each problem formulation.

There are not clear cocnlusions

The results are not clearly explained.

It is a good work but I woul suggest to explain better the results and go much deeper in your conclusions.

Comments on the Quality of English Language

There are many typos.

Grammar is OK.

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Dear Authors,

The main question addressed by the research is to what extent can a wind power plant, aided by ESS, comply with a given dispatch command.
The topic is original and relevant to the field. It addresses a specific gap in the field, in particular it focuses on possibilities of dispatching wind power plants with battery storages.
The conclusions are consistent with the evidence and arguments presented and they address the main question posed
The references are appropriate.

What are the cost implications of using ESS and wind installations?

Sincerely,

the Reviewer

Comments on the Quality of English Language

The paper needs to be English proofread to eliminate the grammatical errors (Line 49: curtialment; line 51 penelty; line 61 irrelevent: line 98 scenaria)
