Implementing Wind and Solar Power in Intelligent Microgrids
Wind and Solar Power –
A Brief Overview
Advertisement
Wind and solar power are abundant and renewable energy sources that have experienced significant advancements in technology and reduction in costs. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy from wind into electrical power, while solar panels, or photovoltaic cells, harness sunlight to produce electricity. The integration of these sources into a microgrid results in a sustainable, efficient, and reliable energy system.
What is an Intelligent Microgrid?
An intelligent microgrid is a localized grouping of electricity sources and loads that normally operate connected to the traditional grid but can disconnect and function autonomously as physical conditions or operational needs dictate. This smart system utilizes advanced communication and automation technologies to optimize energy generation, distribution, and consumption
