Which technology should be used in a large scale photovoltaic power plant?

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.

Should photovoltaic energy storage be a priority?

When photovoltaic (PV) systems take a larger share of generation capacity i.e. increase in penetration, increasing system flexibility should thus become a priority for policy and decision makers. Electrical energy storage (EES) may provide improvements and services to power systems, so the use of storage will be popular.

What is a typical large scale PV plant configuration?

Fig. 3 shows a typical large scale PV plant configuration in absence of energy storage . PV panels are normally connected in series and parallel to form PV arrays. Each array can deliver a power of several hundred of kW up to few MW (direct current, DC).

Can flywheel energy storage be used in large scale PV power plants?

Nevertheless, flywheel energy storage are rarely found in current large scale PV power plants projects. Inertia emulation, fast frequency response and power oscillation damping requirements are strong candidates to be included in the future grid codes.
