Renewable energy technologies are expected to play a major role in mitigating climate change and resource depletion effects as well as in contributing to domestic energy security. Due to the intermittent nature of solar photovoltaic (PV), there are often significant gaps between energy consumption and energy supply by PV plants. This makes storage systems a potential option to maximize savings and accrue managerial flexibility by increasing the share of self-consumed energy while guaranteeing adequate power levels in distribution grids.
