Role of Renewable Energy Sources and Storage Units In Smart Grids

Abstract

Advanced technology amalgamation in conventional grid networks can give the grid a new climate and working conditions by adding the necessary smartness into the grid which is denoted as the "Smart grid". It is pre-eminent that the smart grid can play a pivotal role, as there is a need to integrate coordinated renewable energy resources into the grid and operate the grids at a higher efficiency, considering many aspects including supply reliability and power system security. The relationship between the smart grid and renewable energy revolves around gathering data. The fusion of renewable energy and smart grid is the key challenge in the recent trend. Overview of the smart grid technology using analog or wireless connectivity and information technology is discussed in the article where in smart grid architecture is the answer to the efficient use of wide-spread energy resources. In this work, an attempt has been made to present the outline of role of renewable energy sources in smart grids. This article will also dispense the role of the energy storage systems in electrical network. © 2022 Scrivener Publishing LLC. All rights reserved.
