As a mature power generation technology [3], solar PV system uses solar cells to directly convert solar energy into electricity.Due to the small voltage and current of a single cell, the PV system generally consists of series and parallel cells, so as to output electricity that meets the requirements.

What are the energy storage requirements in photovoltaic power plants?

Energy storage requirements in photovoltaic power plants are reviewed. Li-ion and flywheel technologies are suitable for fulfilling the current grid codes. Supercapacitors will be preferred for providing future services. Li-ion and flow batteries can also provide market oriented services.

Should energy storage be integrated with large scale PV power plants?

As a solution, the integration of energy storage within large scale PV power plants can help to comply with these challenging grid code requirements 1. Accordingly, ES technologies can be expected to be essential for the interconnection of new large scale PV power plants.

Why is PV technology integrated with energy storage important?

PV technology integrated with energy storage is necessary to store excess PV power generated for later use when required. Energy storage can help power networks withstand peaks in demand allowing transmission and distribution grids to operate efficiently.

Does a PV power plant need a power reserve?

Nevertheless, the lack of solar radiation may lead the PV power plant to operate below this level. As the power curtailment relates on reducing the active power generation, it does not require any power reserve and ES is not needed. Most of the countries with specific regulations for PV power plants include this requirement.

How much energy does a PV plant need?

To sum up, from PV power plants under-frequency regulation viewpoint, the energy storage should require between 1.5% to 10% of the rated power of the PV plant. In terms of energy, it is required, at least, to provide full power during 9–30 min (see Table 5).

Are energy storage services economically feasible for PV power plants?

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.
