Integrating Solar and Wind – Analysis
Solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind power have been growing at an accelerated pace, more than doubling in installed capacity and nearly doubling their share of global electricity
Customer ServiceWind and solar power plants, like all new generation facilities, will need to be integrated into the electrical power system. This fact sheet addresses concerns about how power system adequacy, security, efficiency, and the ability to balance the generation (supply) and consumption (demand) are affected by wind and solar power production.
Excess solar and wind energy can be curtailed due to no available storage. 100% reliability results if the solar and wind power supply system can meet all the electricity demand in every hour of the simulation.
The efficacy of meeting electricity demands with generation from solar and wind resources depends on factors such as location and weather; the area over which generating assets are distributed; the mix and magnitude of solar and wind generation capacities; the availability of energy storage; and firm generation capacity 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
Wind and solar droughts pose serious risks to systems relying on renewable resources; identifying and characterizing these threats can provide essential information for achieving power system reliability.
