Investigating the synergistic effects of demand response and energy storage systems can provide valuable insights into optimizing the integration of solar PV systems into the grid, addressing the challenges associated with voltage fluctuations, power imbalances, and grid stability.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are a major type of renewable energy generation and are predicted to become the largest renewable energy source by 2022. Solar energy has become increasingly important due to rising oil prices and the Ukraine war.
In conclusion, integrating solar PV into the power system presents numerous challenges, including variability, intermittency, grid stability and reliability issues. However, by combining energy storage and demand response techniques, it is possible to mitigate these challenges and facilitate the large-scale deployment of solar PV.
In this research, we will explore the challenges associated with solar PV penetration into the MV grid network, including voltage regulation, harmonic distortion, islanding, and frequency control as can be seen in Fig. 2. Fig. 2. Solar PV penetration most common challenges.
