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.
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.
While energy management systems support grid integration by balancing power supply with demand, they are usually either predictive or real-time and therefore unable to utilise the full array of supply and demand responses, limiting grid integration of renewable energy sources. This limitation is overcome by an integrated energy management system.
In reviewing the existing literature on IEMS, it was determined that there are five major parts of an IEMS framework that supports solar energy integration: the power system the IEMS operates in, solar energy forecasting (SEF), demand side management (DSM), and supply side management (SSM).
Until recent years, with the booming of grid-scale systems, artificial intelligence devices and wearable self-powered gadgets, solar-assisted integrated energy units reconciling energy collection, storage and utilization has revitalized academic and industrial interests to satisfy practical needs.
Grid integration is the process of creating practical, affordable ways to integrate VRE into the grid while preserving or enhancing system stability and reliability. .
