The renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy are very clean and abundant. However, it is difficult to grab optimal power from these power sources due to the unpredictable operating conditions. Some countries depend on the hydro electric energy, where it necessitates the large amount of water storage.
Li-ion and flow batteries can also provide market oriented services. The best location of the storage should be considered and depends on the service. Energy storage can play an essential role in large scale photovoltaic power plants for complying with the current and future standards (grid codes) or for providing market oriented services.
In addition, considering its medium cyclability requirement, the most recomended technologies would be the ones based on flow and Lithium-Ion batteries. The way to interconnect energy storage within the large scale photovoltaic power plant is an important feature that can affect the price of the overall system.
As it can be observed, an AC grid is mainly considered for converter integration. Besides, the battery, supercapacitor, and fuel cell (with hydrogen tank) are the most used storage systems. It is worth noting that the “Generic DC storage” in the table denotes cases wherein no specific considerations are applied regarding storage technology.
Large-scale PV systems are the preferred solution for rapid multi-megawatt energy systems to supply the electricity demand, especially in rural areas, as they can be built and operated in less than 1 year, compared to the approximately 4 years required for conventional electricity power plants at the same power [13, 14].
Nonetheless, it was also estimated that in 2020 these services could be economically feasible for PV power plants. In contrast, in , the energy storage value of each of these services (firming and time-shift) were studied for a 2.5 MW PV power plant with 4 MW and 3.4 MWh energy storage. In this case, the PV plant is part of a microgrid.
