Impact of Renewable Energy Integration on Power Quality- Challenges and Solutions
Keywords:
Renewable Energy, Renewable Energy Sources, Power Quality, Voltage Fluctuations, Harmonic DistortionAbstract
A sustainable energy future depends on the grid's ability to integrate renewable energy sources (RES), but doing so presents substantial power quality difficulties. Due to differences in power generation, the usage of power electronics in RES can result in problems such voltage instability, harmonic distortion, frequency oscillations, and reactive power imbalance. This study looks into how integrating renewable energy affects power quality. It also highlights the main problems and considers potential solutions, like energy storage systems, flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices, and sophisticated inverter technology. The study also analyzes case studies of various solutions being implemented successfully.
