The inherent variability and uncertainty of distributed wind power generation exert profound impact on the stability and equilibrium of power storage systems. In response to this challenge, we present a pioneering methodology for the allocation of capacities in the integration of wind power. . This paper aims to optimize the net profit of a wind-solar energy storage station operating under the tie-line adjustment mode of scheduling over a specific time period. The optimization objective is to maximize net profit, considering three economic indicators: revenue from selling electricity. . Peak-load plants, usually fueled by natural gas, run when de-mand surges, often on hot days when consumers run air condi-tioners. Wind generated power in contrast, cannot be guaranteed to be available when demand is highest. The hourly electric power demand is relatively periodic on a 24 hour cycle.
