The transmission grid-connected solar project is, in fact, already a reality. The UK’s first transmission grid-connected solar farm has begun commercial operations, marking a new era of renewable energy development and establishing this as an emerging trend.
Renewable energy source integration with power systems is one of the main concepts of smart grids. Due to the variability and limited predictability of these sources, there are many challenges associated with integration. This paper reviews integration of solar systems into electricity grids.
To integrate renewables into grids and support the energy transition, operators may need to rethink their planning approaches and tools to tackle network and value chain challenges. Power grids are the foundation of energy systems, playing a key role in the energy transition by enabling the use of renewable energy sources (RES).
A breakthrough transmission-connected solar project marks a new stage for UK renewables development. But for the sector to truly thrive, understanding the complexities and challenges of grid integration and compliance will be essential.
Solar-grid integration is now a common practice in many countries of the world; as there is a growing demand for use of alternative clean energy as against fossil fuel . Global installed capacity for solar-powered electricity has seen an exponential growth, reaching around 290 GW at the end of 2016.
This requires more investment in building the transmission lines and often results in “line losses” as some of the energy during transportation are converted into heat and lost. Some notable challenges associated with Solar-Grid integration include problems of voltage stability, frequency stability, and overall power quality.
