Integration of Variable Generation: Challenges and Solutions for Large-scale Deployment

Abstract: As the cost of variable renewable energy from wind and solar continue to decline, their deployment has increased tremendously. In 2014, 51GW of wind and 38GW of solar were deployed worldwide. Integration of variable generation at such levels into electric power systems can cause challenges to electric grids that have historically used dispatchable generation to follow load demands. As the penetrations of variable renewables increase, a range of solutions is needed to ensure reliable grid operation. This presentation will discuss challenges and solutions to large-scale integration of variable renewable generation into electrical grids.
