Demand Management by Grid Connected PV Systems
Abstract
Grid-connected PV systems are becoming the next big things in power industry. This integrates new technologies to solve various issues in industry. But still it faces challenges in fields like new technologies, socio- economic problems, lack of government policies and knowledge. Goal of this paper is to change current grid- connected PV system and meet demands of performance, volume, efficiency, consistency, environment and economics. Providing reliable electricity is an important feature for customers. Issues such of home automation, electric vehicles, renewable energy and decentralized power are important features of smart grid. It promotes efficient planning, coordination and management for power generated and stored resulting in minimizing electrical energy activity and capital costs. It adds considerable automation and communications load to the existing network.
New smart grid concept is employed in 3 ways-
- Intelligent devices monitor and measure the
- 2-way communication provides the information exchange.
- Control system enables demand-side management Keywords(PV-Array ,Smart-Grid, PV System)
