Renewable energy resources possess unique characteristics-intermittency and uncertainty- that pose challenges to electricity grid operations. We study these characteristics and find that uncertainty, represented by wind forecast error, has larger grid impacts than intermittency, or hourly...

The Indonesian electricity industry was under the management of PLN, presenting a significant opportunity to embrace renewable energy sources in response to tightening green energy regulations. This study utilized the sustainable business model concept, deconstructing the value economic,...

Our Indian power sector is transforming from old conventional system to sustainable and energy efficient smart system. New and smart projects require huge capital expenditure over a period of time. Consequently, the regulators must ensure that risk is to be least for investors and rational...

Grid integration remains one of the key challenges related to the worldwide expansion of distributed renewable energy systems. This paper presents innovative measures for increasing the hosting capacity of distribution grids with a focus on the medium-voltage grid, based on representative...

We assess the optimality of investments in power grid innovation, under both technological options of Super and Smart Grids, using the WITCH model in the version that includes Super-Grids. Super Grids allow producing and trading of electricity generated by large scale concentrated solar power...

This Article addresses the legal, technical, and economic challenges of integrating high levels of renewable power generation into electrical grid system operation. Part II shows that the primary integration challenge is reducing the total costs of integration and allocating the costs of...
