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.
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 shown, large scale PV power plants have several generation units (generation unit = PV array + converter). But from the transmission system operator viewpoint, it is a single generator connected to the point of common coupling (PCC). Hence, the power delivered to the grid and the grid code fulfilment is checked at the PCC.
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).
With this information, together with the analysis of the energy storage technologies characteristics, a discussion of the most suitable technologies is performed. In addition, this review
