This paper proposes a framework for selecting energy storage technology (EST) for small-scale renewable energy systems. The present study was able to achieve this using the results that were generated from a Preference Ranking Organisation Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) and a fuzzy quality function deployment (FQFD) model. Using the FQFD model, experts' opinions were incorporated into the framework during the evaluation of the techno-economic requirements importance for the selection process. The FQFD model considered system safety, availability, flexibility, reliability and effectiveness as customers’ requirements, while nominal voltage, nominal discharge current, peak measured voltage, operating cost and cost of energy were among the techno-economic requirements. During the framework application, a questionnaire was used to collect information from experts on the techno-economic requirements importance, while information on the techno-economic (eleven) requirements for four ESTs were obtained from literature. The FQFD model results were incorporated into a PROMETHEE and TOPSIS models. The PROMETHEE and the TOPSIS models identified Lithium-Ion EST as the best EST for small-scale renewable energy systems.
