While cost of energy is a function primarily of system performance and life-cycle cost, the value of the energy depends on many factors, such as when it is available and the reliability of the energy. Some of the elements that factor into the value of a Solar Energy Grid Integration System are described in this section.
Despite the individual merits of solar and wind energy systems, their intermittent nature and geographical limitations have spurred interest in hybrid solutions that maximize efficiency and reliability through integrated systems.
Solar systems integration involves developing technologies and tools that allow solar energy onto the electricity grid, while maintaining grid reliability, security, and efficiency. For most of the past 100 years, electrical grids involved large-scale, centralized energy generation located far from consumers.
Its association with building-integrated solar energy systems demonstrates that they can not only increase the comfort of the building and reduce the energy consumption but also respond to the necessities of the grid, especially concerning adaptive systems.
While policy support drives solar PV deployment globally, one of the main challenges to integrating solar PV into the electricity grid is its variable and intermittent nature, resulting in technical and economic challenges .
It is expected that these solutions will help to push the “advanced integrated system” and “smart grid” evolutionary processes forward in a faster but focused manner. Solar Energy Grid Integration Systems (SEGIS) concept will be key to achieving high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into the utility grid.
