UNDERSTANDING SOLAR POWER SYSTEM AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO FREQUENCY REGULATION

Year 2021, Volume: 6 Issue: 1-2, 1 - 13, 31.12.2021

Abstract

Thirst for renewable power systems is gaining popularity in recent times. Solar power system due to its inherent advantages and availability is one such renewable energy system that is gaining penetration in power system sectors. This paper covers the basic understanding of solar power, with a clear indication of solar power as one of the promising renewable energy options. Furthermore, the concept of energy storage system which is an essential requirement of solar power system along with frequency regulation is discussed highlighting multiple options that can be realized for appropriate implementation.
