An Overview of Recent Advances in Energy Storage for Solar Power Systems

Renewable energy sources and technologies have the potential to bring answers to energy-related challenges in developing nations such as Ethiopia. PV systems generate clean, dependable electricity without the need of fossil fuels and are employed in a broad range of applications. Clean electricity is one approach for increasing capacity, improving energy security, and addressing environmental problems. Since, energy storage is one of the components of standalone system to holds all energy and electrical energy storage is advantageous to balance between fluctuating generation and varying consumption. This paper analysis about standalone solar power system, advantage of DC, charge controller, various storage systems (stationary and nonstationary) its advantages, applicability and comparison between them. Finally, conclusion and recommendation drawn from used papers which indicate best and sensitive research area for future works.
