Third-generation approaches to photovoltaics (PVs) aim to achieve high-efficiency devices but still use thin-film, second-generation deposition methods. The concept is to do this with only a small increase in areal costs and hence reduce the cost per Watt peak (this metric is the most widely used in the PV industry).
Third-generation approaches to PVs aim to decrease costs to well below the $1/W level of second-generation PVs to $0.50/W, potentially to $0.20/W or better, by significantly increasing efficiencies but maintaining the economic and environmental cost advantages of thin-film deposition techniques (shows the three PV generations).
The battery of the second system cannot only store electricity from the PV system, but also store electricity from the grid at low valley tariffs, and the stored electricity can be supplied to the buildings or sold to the grid to realize price arbitrage.
Photovoltaic with battery energy storage systems in the single building and the energy sharing community are reviewed. Optimization methods, objectives and constraints are analyzed. Advantages, weaknesses, and system adaptability are discussed. Challenges and future research directions are discussed.
Among the less explored approaches here is single-device integrated solar generation and energy storage, or solar-powered redox batteries (SPRBs). These promise to eliminate much of the additional power electronics and other equipment needed to shuttle energy from a PV system to a battery, meaning both cheaper and more efficient energy storage.
Adding the battery in the PV system not only can transfer peak generation to meet peak consumption, but also can utilize TOU tariff to charge the battery at low tariff and discharge the battery at high tariff to realize price arbitrage, which provides a new idea for efficient utilization of the PV system.
