AB Increasing energy demand leads to environmental challenges such as global warming and climate change.This situation requires a paradigm shift to take place in the ways of generating energy. Sustainable carbon-freeenergy sources, such as wind or solar, must increase rapidly to replace the generation systems based onconventional sources that predominate today. However, the increase in the use of renewable energy systems hasproduced an instability of the grid, due to the stochastic nature of this type of energy, especially wind energy.These challenges require storage systems that provide viable power system operation solutions.In this work, the use of second-life electric vehicle batteries has been proposed to design electrical energystorage systems at a lower cost, so that surplus wind energy can be stored at times of low electricity demandand high wind resources, and thus, being able to avoid power reductions, with the main objective of reducingenergy waste and making intelligent use of stored energy, in order to obtain an additional economic benefit.Firstly, the role of wind energy in the electricity generation structure of the island of Tenerife, Spain, has beenstudied. Second, research has been carried out on electric mobility on the island under study, so that the capacityof second-life electric vehicle batteries that may be available in the future can be estimated. And, finally, atechnical and economic feasibility study has been carried out for the introduction of these storage systems in awind farm in Tenerife. In the future, the proposed technology has the potential to become a low-cost batteryenergy storage system that is essential for increasing the integration of renewable energy into the grid, as wellas reducing the environmental footprint by prolonging the useful life of the batteries for electric vehicles, whichwill offer added value to the entire system.
