摘要: Advances in solar and wind technology combined with escalating environmental regulations have led to a high demand of distributed generation (DG) resources around the globe. A typical power system in countries such as United States has large-scale central power stations located in remote areas, which are connected to transmission system. Recent tendency is, however, toward developing small-scale distributed generating units; thus power generating units will be located near consumers and large generating units will be replaced by a number of smaller generating units. The prospect of reduced cost, increased reliability, increased energy efficiency, improved power quality, and energy independence are the main motivation for customers to increase their interests to what is called “smart grid.” Renewable energy sources including photovoltaic and wind turbines and fuel cells are categorized as main energy sources of DG in future smart grids with promising sustainability.
There are clear evidences suggesting that renewable energy-distributed generation (RE-DG) is growing worldwide and governments around the world considering ambitious targets of incorporating considerable amounts of RE-DG in response to the need to enhance fuel diversity, increasing security of energy supply and economic sustainability. There are many factors driving usage of RE-DG. The RE-DG using solar energy and wind power offers more environmental, social, and in some cases economic benefits. The use of solar energy and wind power has increased so fast in the past two decades that these two technologies are considered as success story.
This talk will be focused on the progress of i) solar energy, ii) wind energy and iii) integration and Power Electronics Interface.
