One solution to this problem is the integration of a battery energy storage system (BESS) to decrease peak power demand on the grid. This paper presents a review of the state-of-the-art use of DC-fast chargers coupled with a BESS. The focus of the paper is on industrial charger architectures and topologies.
Energy Storage Systems are structured in two main parts. The power conversion system (PCS) handles AC/DC and DC/AC conversion, with energy flowing into the batteries to charge them or being converted from the battery storage into AC power and fed into the grid. Suitable power device solutions depend on the voltages supported and the power flowing.

The section above covers the method of AC coupling. However, another solution for solar and storage projects exists called DC coupling. In a DC-coupled solar and storage site, the coupling of the two assets is shifted behind a single inverter. Figure 3 (below) shows how this would work for our hypothetical solar and storage project.
However, as it also happens with other DC technologies such as battery energy systems, there are no standard topologies valid for all setups and the actual designs are strongly project-dependent [35, 36].
This document examines DC-Coupled and AC-Coupled PV and energy storage solutions and provides best practices for their deployment. In a PV system with AC-Coupled storage, the PV array and the battery storage system each have their own inverter, with the two tied together on the AC side.
DC-Coupled system ties the PV array and battery storage system together on the DC-side of the inverter, requiring all assets to be appropriately and similarly sized in order for optimized energy storage and power flow. Mid to large-scale solar is a non-reversible trend in the energy mix of the U.S. and world.
AC-Coupled PV and energy solutions are employed as PV retrofits or where the storage component differs from the PV component widely in power rating. The main advantage of the DC-Coupled energy storage solution is the ability to PV clip recapture with a higher DC/AC ratio.
A DC-Coupled system on the other hand, ties the PV array and battery storage system together on the DC-side of the inverter, requiring all assets to be appropriately and similarly sized in order for optimized energy storage and power flow.
