Large scale production of wind and solar will affect the grid operations, so factors like frequency, power balancing, and load profile should be considered. Smart Energy Resources Renewable Generation List of major issues integrating large wind farms: Steady state and dynamic states are crucial New and in depth system planning Accurate resource and load forecasting becomes highly valuable. Variable speed turbines and advanced solar inverters have added advantage of independent regulation.
Smart Energy Resources Renewable Generation Factors affecting by integrating wind and solar farms: Thermal and contingency analysis Short circuit Transient and voltage stability Protection co ordination Power quality
Smart Energy Resources Renewable Generation The Sources of renewable energy sources are mainly located in remote places. This results in addition of major transmission facilities. The capacity of wind and solar is maximum 20 to 35 percent but the capacity of the nuclear plant is 90 percent. So, by integrating the renewable sources to grid output of the fossil fuel plant needs to be adjusted frequently. Smart Energy Resources Centralized and Distributed Generation Smart Energy Resources Centralized and Distributed Generation Smart Energy Resources Centralized and Distributed Generation In the early beginnings of the electric industry, power generation used to comprised of a series of series generators installed at large customer facilities, towns and cities. Large scale centralized generation dominated the power industry for decades. The trend, Distributed generation is prompted by the PUBLIC UTILITIES REGULATORY ACT (PURPA) 1978 and Energy policy Act 1992 (in US) has led the distributed Energy resource concept which followed by Distributed Generation and Storage. Smart Energy Resources Centralized and Distributed Generation Providing backup has been the most basic and prevalent application of DER. The main difference of the approach is the location, installed capacity and type or lack of ancillary services. The Significant challenge is , distributed systems have designed in historic designed to be operated in radial fashion without any special considerations. It will impact the pv and wind sources during integration.

Larger scale and longer term feasibilities are problem Smart Energy Resources Electric Vehicle: Vehicle to grid Utilization of Evs for Energy buffering Large thermal plants are relatively dedicated for base loads. Evs can be used as a buffer during the off peak time. PEVs are provided for off peak time charging through a time-of-use TOU rate. TOU is an electricity rate structure where the cost of electricity varies with time. Smart Energy Resources Microgrids: Definition Microgrid is an integrated energy system consisting of integrated loads and DESs that can operate connected to the grid or in an intentional island mode. The objective is to ensure the better energy reliablity, security and efficiency.
