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.
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).
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.
As a reference, a 10 MW PV power plant with 10% ramp rate limitation per minute would require around 7 MW and 700 kWh (0.1 h at full power). A comprehensive method to obtain the required ES discharge power and energy is found in and summarized in Eqs. (1), (2).
The photovoltaic installed capacity set in the figure is 2395kW. When the energy storage capacity is 1174kW h, the user’s annual expenditure is the smallest and the economic benefit is the best. Fig. 4. The impact of energy storage capacity on annual expenditures.
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.
