Batteries for Standalone Photovoltaic Systems

Traditional energy sources are depleting rapidly, driving the need for alternative energy solutions. Simultaneously, rising energy costs make standalone photovoltaic systems an increasingly attractive option. These systems not only provide abundant free energy but also contribute to distributed pollution reduction globally. However, current photovoltaic systems face limitations such as inefficient power management and low conversion efficiency. Our primary objective is to enhance system output power through improved control algorithms that can optimize performance. A critical challenge involves maintaining stable voltage supply to loads despite fluctuating solar irradiance conditions. Photovoltaic cell energy generation is dependent on atmospheric parameters including solar radiation intensity and ambient temperature. Therefore, this research will investigate energy storage technologies that maximize photovoltaic energy supply efficiency, potentially implementing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms and battery management systems (BMS) to contribute to sustainable photovoltaic system development.
