Photovoltaic power systems are generally classified according to their functional and operational requirements, their component configurations, and how the equipment is connected to other power sources and electrical loads. The two principal classifications are grid-connected or utility-interactive systems and stand-alone systems.
The two types of stand-alone photovoltaic power systems are direct-coupled system without batteries and stand alone system with batteries. The basic model of a direct coupled system consists of a solar panel connected directly to a dc load.
One of the earliest and most accessible energy storage system types is battery storage, relying solely on electrochemical processes. Lithium-ion batteries, known for their prevalence in portable electronics and electric vehicles, represent just one type among a diverse range of chemistries, including lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and sodium-sulfur.
Lithium-ion batteries are the most widely used type of batteries in energy storage systems due to their decreasing cost over the years. As of 2024, the average cost for lithium-ion batteries has dropped significantly to R2,500 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), making energy storage systems more financially viable and accessible for businesses.
Mechanical storage encompasses systems that store energy power in the forms of kinetic or potential energy such as flywheels, which store rotational energy, and compressed air energy storage systems. Another emerging option within mechanical storage is gravitational energy storage, which is currently under development.
This is where energy storage systems (ESSs) come to the rescue, and they not only can compensate the stochastic nature and sudden deficiencies of RERs but can also enhance the grid stability, reliability, and efficiency by providing services in power quality, bridging power, and energy management.
