Get a quoteThe aim of this article is to address the fundamental scientific question on how the intermittency of solar power generation is affected by aggregation, which is of great interest in the wider power and energy community and would have profound impacts on the solar energy integration into the energy supply and Net-Zero Implementation.
However, the implications of intermittent nature need to be examined. Intermittency of solar PV power affects the balance between supply and demand. When supply-demand balance is not maintained, power system frequency deviates from steady state values; consequently, system stability and reliability are jeopardized (Kundur, Paserba et al. 2004).
It is well recognized internationally that the intermittency of solar energy is a fundamental technical/economic barrier which limits the penetration level of solar power in the energy supply.
Understanding the nature of this intermittency is important to make informed decisions regarding solar power plants, size and location, transmission and distribution systems planning, as well as thermal generation units and electricity markets operations.
The presence of intermittent generation in power systems with priority of dispatch together with a large quantity of inflexible conventional generation alters and reduces the net load to be satisfied with flexible generation able to start up and shut down generation as the system requires.
One of main technical challenges with the use of solar and wind generation is that both are reliant on intermittent natural sources of energy that are independent of load demand or control of the grid operator . Integration of intermittent power generation sources can potentially impact the power system negatively .
