Integrating Renewables

Turning green generation into power

BY THE EXPERTS AT THE WORLD WATCH INSTITUTE

A grid system’s difficulty in absorbing variable generation can present an obstacle to the growth of renewable power, especially when continued improvements in infrastructure and market design are absent. There are many steps, however, that can ease the process, from better resource forecasting to improved grid flexibility.
High-quality renewable resource forecasting is a significant prerequisite for integrating variable generation into the power...
