The Impact of Wind and Solar Variability in Grid Network
1. Introduction
The renewable energy development has accelerated over the last decades. Renewable energy can benefit in such a way in various point of view. In an economic perspective, this type of energy has been more economically accepted in the market due to the decline production cost and no requirement of fuel and hence is relatively safe from fluctuated fuel price risk. Moreover, this type of energy can be found in many locations in almost unlimited amount. In term of society, renewable energy is commonly site specific, meaning there is a limited option for exporting this energy, and this will ensure the energy access in local community. Renewable energy is also thought as the only hope in the energy sector to mitigate climate change due to increasing of fossil fuel use.
The Wind and solar power are the most promising renewable energy since 2010 in term of the growth rate and availability. The increase of …show more content…
As noticed that nature of electricity sector must apply supplied power and electricity demanded match. Otherwise, there will be a system failure either as the rise of frequency due to excess supply or fall of frequency in the form of browns out or black out as a result of excess demand.
This paper is attempting to discuss the impact of the wind and solar PV energy to grid security and reliability and elaborate some solution that has been assessed and implemented in many countries as well as to explore the possibility for its application in New Zealand. Since commonly wind is connected to the high voltage and solar PV is connected to lower voltage, the discussion will focus on transmission grid for wind integration and distribution grid for solar PV integration.
