Off-Grid solutions are a combination of wind, solar and storage operating independently of the power grid. The first pilot power plant "La Plana" was commissioned in 2016. It combines four different energy sources with a battery storage solution, consisting of a lithium-ion battery and redox-flow battery system.
However, Sweden is more prominent in the field of residential energy storage and has ambitious plans to deploy grid-scale battery energy storage systems.
Grid applications of BESS can be categorized by energy use and implementation speed. Energy storage in the DG plant can also reduce power fluctuations. Energy storage systems can simplify black start procedures and let the distribution feeder function independently, improving distribution grid reliability.
There are distinct classifications in energy storage technologies such as: short-term or long-term storage and small-scale or large-scale energy storage, with both classifications intrinsically linked. Small-scale energy storage, has a power capacity of, usually, less than 10 MW, with short-term storage applications and it is best suited, for
The combination of solar power and energy storage systems provides new oppor tunities for electricity consumers to become independent from the grid and fulfill theirdemandthemselves.

For smaller grids and off-grid the added value of energy storage goes further than just grid balance: power quality issues and power reliability are also addressed [17], [22]. Power quality is the ability of the supplied electricity on the distribution grid to adhere to specified peak levels and standard voltage levels.
Integrating a battery energy storage system (BESS) can assist in maintaining frequency response by providing a rapid injection of active power into the grid. Nevertheless, instead of typical constant droop settings enabled in BESS, adopting variable PV power dependent operation of BESS can ensure frequency stability with reduced
