ABSTRACT
Every developing country is beginning to rely on “green” energy in connection with environmental problems, including the global warming of our planet. It is expected that in the future, the production of electricity using the conversion of sunlight would take the dominant place in the energy infrastructure around the world. However, photovoltaic converters mainly generate intermittent energy due to natural factors (weather conditions) or the time of day in a given area. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to consider options for eliminating the interrupted nature of the operation of a solar installation through innovative additional applications. To achieve this goal, issues of the prospect of using energy storage devices and the choice of the most efficient and reliable of them are considered, as are the environmental friendliness of accumulators/batteries and the economic benefits of their use. The results of the analyses provide an understanding of the factors of using existing technologies with regard to their technical and economic aspects for use in solar energy. It was determined that the most common and predominant types of energy storage are lithium-ion and pumped storage plants. Such accumulation systems guarantee high efficiency and reliability in the operation of solar installation systems, depending on the scale of the solar station. Storage devices that are beginning to gain interest in research are also considered – storage devices made of ceramics of various kinds and thermochemical and liquid-air technologies. This study contributes to the development of an energy-storage system for renewable energy sources in the field of technical and economic optimization.

Perspektywy wykorzystania magazynów energii w procesie produkcji energii słonecznej
akumulatory, baterie, metoda termochemiczna, odnawialne źródła energii, materiały magazynowe
Każdy kraj rozwijający się zaczyna polegać na „zielonej” energii w związku z problemami środowiskowymi, w tym globalnym ociepleniem naszej planety. Oczekuje się, że w przyszłości produkcja energii elektrycznej z wykorzystaniem konwersji światła słonecznego zajmie nadrzędne miejsce w infrastrukturze energetycznej na całym świecie. Jednak konwertery fotowoltaiczne generują energię głównie w sposób przerywany ze względu na czynniki naturalne (warunki pogodowe) lub porę dnia na danym terenie. Dlatego celem niniejszego opracowania jest rozważenie możliwości wyeliminowania przerywanej pracy instalacji solarnej poprzez innowacyjne aplikacje dodatkowe. Aby osiągnąć ten cel, rozważane są kwestie perspektywy wykorzystania magazynów energii oraz wyboru najbardziej wydajnych i niezawodnych z nich, a także akumulatorów/baterii w aspekcie ich oddziaływania na środowisko i korzyści ekonomicznych z ich użytkowania. Wyniki analiz pozwalają na zrozumienie czynników wykorzystania istniejących technologii, ich technicznych i ekonomicznych aspektów wykorzystania w energetyce słonecznej. Stwierdzono, że najpowszechniejszymi i dominującymi rodzajami magazynowania energii są elektrownie litowo-jonowe oraz elektrownie szczytowo-pompowe. Takie układy akumulacyjne gwarantują wysoką sprawność i niezawodność działania systemu instalacji solarnej, w zależności od skali stacji solarnej. Rozważane są również urządzenia magazynujące, które zaczynają coraz bardziej interesować badaczy – urządzenia magazynujące wykonane z różnego rodzaju ceramiki, w technologii termochemicznej i cieczowo-powietrznej. Niniejsze opracowanie przyczynia się do rozwoju systemu magazynowania energii dla odnawialnych źródeł energii w zakresie optymalizacji technicznej i ekonomicznej.
