Solar Energy Grid Integration Systems may be configured to address any combination of these market application segments and may be modular in nature. The scale of these markets is described in Table 1. PV systems generate energy with minimal environmental impact. However, a simple PV system without storage provides power only when the sun shines.
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.
