The evolution of the solar PV industry so far has been remarkable, with several milestones achieved in recent years in terms of installations (including off-grid), cost reductions and technological advancements, as well as establishment of key solar energy associations (Figure 5).
1954 Photovoltaic technology is born in the United States when Daryl Chapin, Calvin Fuller, and Gerald Pearson develop the silicon photovoltaic (PV) cell at Bell Labs—the first solar cell capable of converting enough of the sun’s energy into power to run everyday electrical equipment.
Li-ion and flow batteries can also provide market oriented services. The best location of the storage should be considered and depends on the service. Energy storage can play an essential role in large scale photovoltaic power plants for complying with the current and future standards (grid codes) or for providing market oriented services.
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.
At the age of 19, a young French scientist by the name of Edmund Bacquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect whilst doing research in his father’s lab with an electrolytic cell made up of two metal electrodes placed in an electrolyte. After exposing it to light, energy increased.
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.
