In addition, the use of energy storage in the form of BESS or hydrogen storages helps enhance the flexibility of such systems to adapt to seasonal variations. BESS, in particular are more economically viable than hydrogen-based storage in most instances, with cost-effective solutions for off-grid power systems.
Seasonal variation in energy demand, particularly for off-grid locations such as vacation homes, poses a significant challenge to the design of renewable energy systems . The application of hybrid systems with renewable energy sources and storage systems is an effective method of overcoming these challenges.
The fluctuation of renewable sources such as solar and wind power requires storage to deliver a constant and trustworthy energy supply. In this respect, four big groups of storage technologies, electrochemical, hydrogen-based, mechanical, and thermal, have been seriously considered.
Chemical storage alternatives such as hydrogen and synthetic fuels, on the other hand, possess long-term storage capabilities and can be utilized not only for electricity demand but also for heating and transportation, explaining their high percentage in off-grid systems.
In this paper, a hybrid system of electric energy supply in presence of storage systems in off-grid applications has been studied. Different renewable sources such as solar cell and wind
