Nonetheless, it was also estimated that in 2020 these services could be economically feasible for PV power plants. In contrast, in, the energy storage value of each of these services (firming and time-shift) were studied for a 2.5 MW PV power plant with 4 MW and 3.4 MWh energy storage. In this case, the PV plant is part of a microgrid.
Furthermore, the placement of energy storage devices within photovoltaic power plants have also been discussed. From this review, the following conclusions can be drawn: At present, Lithium-Ion is, by far, the most used technology.

The reason is that the scheme for local storage of surplus electricity does not consider that the excess energy does not participate in the power coordination of the external grid.
Energy storage is an important link for the grid to efficiently accept new energy, which can significantly improve the consumption of new energy electricity such as wind and photovoltaics by the power grid, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the grid system, but energy storage is a high-cost resource.
In this case, the energy storage side connects the source and load ends, which needs to fully meet the demand for output storage on the power side and provide enough electricity to the load side, so a large enough energy storage capacity configuration is a must.
Based on the forecast results of the daily generation curve and daily load curve, the particle swarm optimization algorithm was employed to allocate energy storage capacity in terms of local power balance and local power storage and local power balance and residual power storage, separately.
