Academic Publishing insists on taking academic exchange and publication as the main line, carrying out comprehensive management based on science and technology, and fully exploring excellent international publishing resources. Within 5 years, it will form a strategic framework and scale with science (S), technology (T), medicine (M), education (E), and humanities and arts (H) as the main publishing fields. Academic Publishing is headquartered in Singapore and based in Malaysia, with the United States and China providing the main scientific and academic resources. At the same time, it has established long-term good cooperative relations with other publishing companies, scientific research communities, and academic organizations in more than a dozen countries and regions. Academic Publishing uses English and Chinese as its main publishing languages, mainly publishing books, journals, and conference papers in print and online. The vast majority of publications follow the international open access policy, providing stable and long-term quality and professional publications. With the joint efforts of the expert team and our professional editorial team, our publications will gradually be indexed by international databases in stages to provide convenient and professional retrieval for various scholars. At the same time, manuscripts we accept will be subject to the peer review principle, and cutting-edge and innovative research articles will be preferentially accepted for peer reference and discussion. All kinds of our publications are welcome for peer to contribute, access, and download.

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.

Photovoltaic solar energy is one of the immaculate non-pollutant origins of inexhaustible sources of energy. As a result of the increase in energy demand and the bad effects of carbon-containing fuels on the world environment, several nations reflect on photovoltaic solar energy as the appropriate and possible choice for electrification in rural agriculture applications and household practices. To satisfy the increasing electrical energy need and reduce the production of gas. The use of photovoltaic energy cannot be overemphasized in agricultural applications in rural areas. Photovoltaic and electrification in agriculture is the formation of photovoltaic production of electricity, heat, and some other forms of energy. In agriculture, it means making available green energy and being able to maintain electricity for farming activities. The review will focus on energy access/usage for boosting farming activities in rural communities of Sub-Saharan African nations. It will also offer a critical review of the methodical investigation by different researchers on photovoltaic solar energy and electrification in agricultural applications for quality improvement in energy generation in rural areas for agricultural purposes, which in turn generates employment opportunities for people living in rural communities in Sub-Saharan African countries. The investigation covers several forms of photovoltaic systems, such as solar energy for cooling storages, pumping water for irrigation activities, heating/cooling greenhouses and drying crops for rural communities in Sub-African. It describes different principal application forms of photovoltaic solar energy in agriculture, photovoltaic solar energy issues, the principle of operation of photovoltaic, its uses, problems, and opportunities. Furthermore, this study discusses the economic analysis and market related opportunities of photovoltaic systems. It has been shown beyond reasonable doubt that photovoltaic solar energy would be an appropriate option for electrification in agriculture, particularly in the distant typical remote environment. The review concludes that the prospects of the research will be economic development potential and employment creation opportunities in the Sub-Saharan African communities.
