Solar systems integration involves developing technologies and tools that allow solar energy onto the electricity grid, while maintaining grid reliability, security, and efficiency. For most of the past 100 years, electrical grids involved large-scale, centralized energy generation located far from consumers.
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.
By 2030, as much as 80% of electricity could flow through power electronic devices. One type of power electronic device that is particularly important for solar energy integration is the inverter. Inverters convert DC electricity, which is what a solar panel generates, to AC electricity, which the electrical grid uses.
In the United States, solar energy is forecasted to generate roughly 45% of the electricity by 2050. Although solar energy mitigates the negative effects of climate change by providing electricity without releasing greenhouse gases, little is known about the implications of solar energy development for ecosystem services.
This study provides a holistic assessment of incorporating ecosystem services in future solar energy development decision-making and presents an approach for minimizing trade-offs and maximizing sustainable outcomes.
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.
