Grid has export capacity of 1 MW. However, its capacity is not utilized for most of the months. I have been researching the methods to determine the optimal PV size that would make the best possible use of grid capacity. However, I have not been able to reach the conclusion on optimal sizing. On the basis of solar energy curtail profile, 1 MW seems to have maximum annual energy. However, up to 225kW there is negligible energy loss in the system. It seems that optimal capacity lies within in these range, but I need the optimization method that best work for this system.
Has anyone been researching in this domain? If you have done some related work can you please share your insights that how we can reach the solution of this problem ?
Thank you !
Along with the comprehensive development of industrialization, human production activities, especially those related to energy issues, exert an increasingly detrimental impact on the environment. Given this, more attention has been paid to renewable energy sources (RESs) to settle urgent energy issues and achieve sustainable development. Indubitably, fossil fuels will bring about a large number of pollution gas, aggravating environmental issues and leading to the energy crisis. Therefore, renewable energy is seen as the best option to replace fossil fuels due to its unique advantages, such as regenerative capacity, sustainability and a high level of cleanliness. According to statistics, in 2021, the installed renewable energy capacity of the world has expanded by 3064 GW, with an annual growth rate of roughly 9.1%. Among the RESs that are developed vigorously, hydropower, wind and photovoltaic account for the largest share. Specifically, 102.8 GW of new hydropower, 71.9 GW of new photovoltaic capacity and 69.4 GW of new wind capacity were installed, which were respectively responsible for 40%, 28% and 27% of the renewable energy growth. The focus of the world on renewable energy production is therefore readily apparent, so China is hardly an exception. As the country with the largest power generation and installed capacity of clean energy in the world [9], China has gradually improved its established power structure and power generation structure after the promulgation of several policies to ensure the development of renewable energy comprehensively, as well as increased the proportion of clean energy,. As a result, developing single clean energy has become a inevitable trend to replace conventional energy in terms of installed capacity and power output around the world.
Osama Bahnas completely irrelvant !!! its not what i am looking. If you have some experience to this work then share. otherwise ??
I am trying to study the same issue but from grid expansion planning perspective, I am trying to develop a long term net-zero policy for the existing grid by first identification and then integration of renewable energy resources in the existing grid and trying to quantify the impact.
Due to my industrial engineering background, I am trying to solve this issue from optimization of the grid flow perspective.
Fahd Amjad yeah that could also be one way , I mean on the basis of impact on grid export limitation may be we can find optimal size. I wonder how it actually works from expansion planning concept and net-zero policy. I Would like to follow up your methodology if you could share your insights.
