| Summary: | This technical guide is the first in a
series of four technical guides on variable renewable energy
(VRE) grid integration produced by the Energy Sector
Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) of the World Bank and
the Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership (GSEP). It
provides a general overview of the intrinsic characteristics
of VRE generation, mainly solar PV and wind, what the main
challenges are along with some recommendations for VRE
technical specifications, applicable standards, and
essential testing. The main focus of the document presents a
detailed outline of the essential requirements for VRE
integration into the power grid. The requirements differ for
different levels of penetration but would require
fundamental grid compliance requirements that must be
reflected in any grid. This document provides these
requirements along with recommendations of advanced VRE
integration requirements that could be reflected in the
power system operations with these VRE resources. The
compliance with the technical requirements where applicable
is validated through extensive series of interconnection
studies which are further elaborated in "STUDIES FOR
GRID CONNECTION OF VARIABLE RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION
PLANTS – Technical Guide 3". |
