High-Level Penetration of Renewable Energy Sources Into Grid Utility: Challenges and Solutions

Md Alam et al.Jan 1, 2020
The utilization of renewable energy sources (RESs) has become significant throughout the world especially over the last two decades. Although high-level RESs penetration reduces negative environmental impact compared to conventional fossil fuel based energy generation, control issues become more complex as well as total inertia to the system is significantly decreased due to removal of conventional synchronous generators. Some other technical issues, high uncertainties, low fault ride through capability, high fault current, low generation reserve, and low power quality, arise due to RESs integration. Renewable energy like solar and wind are highly uncertain due to intermittent nature of wind and sunlight. Cutting edge technologies including different control strategies, optimization techniques, energy storage devices, and fault current limiters are employed to handle those issues. This paper summarizes several challenges in the integration process of high-level RESs to the existing grid. The respective solutions to each challenge are also discussed. A comprehensive list of challenges and opportunities, for both wind and solar energy integration cases, are well documented. Also, the future recommendations are provided to solve the several problems of renewable integration which could be key research areas for the industry personnel and researchers.
