To compensate the MCT farm power variation due to the tidal phenomenon, an Ocean Compressed Air Energy Storage (OCAES) system is considered. Diesel Generators (DGs) would only serve as a backup supply while the main island power supply will be fulfilled by the proposed hybrid MCT/OCAES system. An effective model for the OCAES is established for facilitating real-time power management simulations with other sources. Simulations (different load levels, different tidal speed levels, one-day cases and one-week case) are carried out to validate the feasibility of the proposed hybrid system.
