Renewable Energy Impact on Power Quality Performances in Modern Electric Grids
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: The significant increase of the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) has radically transformed the electricity generation system presenting many aspects to be studied and analyzed. RESs such as solar and wind are fluctuating and weather-driven sources, that can introduce consequences for the functioning and the quality of the delivered power to the end users. This paper aims to present a deep research of the impact, in terms of power quality, of the introduction of photovoltaic and wind generation into the Italian electric grid, that covers many different case studies since the variety of its topology depending on the geographical regions. A deep study, based on infield measurements data, of the correlation between power quality, in particular voltage sags, and renewable energy introduction is presented and discussed.
