Off-grid energy storage project case study report

A review of hybrid renewable energy systems: Solar and wind

Off-grid HRES usually require a form of energy storage, like batteries, to store excess energy for use when renewable sources are not generating electricity [36]. Although off-grid systems provide energy independence, they generally have higher initial costs due to the need for storage and more complex control systems [37].

Off-Grid Energy Storage

For smaller grids and off-grid the added value of energy storage goes further than just grid balance: power quality issues and power reliability are also addressed [17], [22]. Power quality is the ability of the supplied electricity on the distribution grid to adhere to specified peak levels and standard voltage levels.
