RESIDENTIAL SOLAR ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM: STATE OF THE ART, RECENT APPLICATIONS, TRENDS, AND DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The use of energy storage devices is essential for the development and maintenance of zero-energy structures. They are necessary for optimal usage of renewable energy sources and for managing the intermittent nature of energy supply and demand. Many different types of storage systems (electrochemical, thermal, mechanical, etc.) are either commercially available or close to being developed for usage on a building scale. Different technologies have different capabilities and features, therefore it's important to find a system for evaluating your possibilities before diving into a techno-economic study. All aspects of current and emerging energy storage technologies, as well as their uses, future prospects, and historical contexts, are subjected to a rigorous evaluation. Energy storage techniques such as electrochemical and battery storage, thermal storage, thermochemical storage, flywheel storage, compressed air storage, pumped storage, magnetic storage, chemical and hydrogen storage, and redox flow storage are all covered. New studies on alternative energy storage methods, along with major advancements and discoveries in the field, are also discussed.
