Abstract

This paper presents an overview of energy storage technologies for excess renewable energy production. In particular, wind and solar energy systems are investigated. A case study was conducted for a self-sustainable energy system configuration to realise the impact and the importance of a suitable energy storage system. The issues relating to such a system design is investigated using a specific application and the performance of the system under variable conditions are determined. From the results and analysis, it is clear that the batteries are still best option for self-sustainable renewable energy systems. However, large-scale systems may require alternative storage mechanism such as P2G methods.
