PV is pivotal electrical equipment for sustainable power systems because it can produce clean and environment-friendly energy directly from the sunlight. On the other hand, cost-effectiveness, adequate performance, prompt response time, prominent lifecycle etc., heighten the attractiveness of BESS. This review paper presents comprehensive and significant research conducted on the state-of-the-art of hybrid PV-BESS system. The research studies conducted with hybrid PV-BESS system is also critically reviewed in this study, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, barriers/limitations, and future opportunities for improvement. This study explored six different areas where the hybrid PV-BESS system is analyzed: lifetime improvement, cost reduction analysis, optimal sizing, mitigating various power quality issues, optimal control of power system, and peak load shifting and minimizing. The existing research conducted with a hybrid PV-BESS system is considered in this review study to find out its potentiality for power system application as well as to improve its further operations. A simulation case study has also been undertaken to evaluate the potentiality of an existing peak shaving strategy. Finally, insights into future directions are provided for further advancement of hybrid PV-BESS systems. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd publisher: Elsevier Ltd date: 2022 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Rana, M.M. and Uddin, M. and Sarkar, M.R. and Shafiullah, G.M. and Mo, H. and Atef, M.
