As a consequence, the electrical grid sees much higher power variability than in the past, challenging its frequency and voltage regulation. Energy storage systems will be fundamental for ensuring the energy supply and the voltage power quality to customers.
Conclusion As the energy system transitions towards deep decarbonization, photovoltaic (PV) technology has emerged as the preferred choice for electricity generation in many regions due to its green and clean attributes and technological maturity.
As a consequence, to guarantee a safe and stable energy supply, faster and larger energy availability in the system is needed. This survey paper aims at providing an overview of the role of energy storage systems (ESS) to ensure the energy supply in future energy grids.
However, many previous studies on firm PV generation only considered batteries as the energy storage option, which notoriously elevates the overall system costs owing to the short-duration nature of battery storage.
This is because a decrease in storage costs leads to a rise in the rated capacity of the storage, which allows for storing more surplus solar energy as a backup. Consequently, in situations where the load demand is fixed, the rated power of the PV plant lowers accordingly.
DC connection The majority of energy storage systems are based on DC systems (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells). For this reason, connecting in parallel at DC level more storage technologies allows to save an AC/DC conversion stage, and thus improve the system efficiency and reduce costs.
