Abstract

The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and growing environmental concerns have led to a growing interest in photovoltaic (PV) generation systems and battery storage systems (BSS). Sunlight is harnessed directly by PV technology to generate clean and eco-friendly energy. Conversely, the appeal of BSS lies in its cost-effectiveness, reliable performance, quick response times, and extended lifespan. A comprehensive review of hybrid PV-BSS systems is conducted in this article to determine their practical applications for power systems and to identify possible improvements. In conclusion, the paper offers valuable insights into potential future developments for advancing hybrid PV-BSS systems. The objective of this review paper is to provide an overview of the latest research on PV-BSS hybrid systems. Providing a critical assessment of this field’s research efforts, the study sheds light on their strengths, weaknesses, barriers, limitations, and prospects for the future. Several domains are investigated related to hybrid PV-BSS systems, including methods to extend their lifespan, analyses of cost reductions, optimal sizing, solutions for mitigating power quality issues, and efficient control of power systems.
