The solar energy distribution process encompasses several critical steps that convert energy produced by solar power systems into usable electricity. This electricity is then integrated into the electrical grid or distributed through a microgrid, ensuring a reliable energy supply for consumers.
The key components of solar energy distribution involve: Inverters: Devices that change the type of electricity to make it usable for homes. Transformers: Devices that adjust voltage levels for effective energy distribution. These devices ensure that the electrical current generated by solar panels is compatible with the energy distribution system.
Distributed solar generation (DSG) has been growing over the previous years because of its numerous advantages of being sustainable, flexible, reliable, and increasingly affordable. DSG is a broad and multidisciplinary research field because it relates to various fields in engineering, social sciences, economics, public policy, and others.
Distributed energy systems are an integral part of the sustainable energy transition. DES avoid/minimize transmission and distribution setup, thus saving on cost and losses. DES can be typically classified into three categories: grid connectivity, application-level, and load type.
As the solar market continues to expand, challenges concerning grid integration and energy storage emerge. These issues affect the efficiency of solar energy distribution and may result in wasting solar energy potential. Issues related to grid integration and energy storage significantly impact the efficiency of solar energy systems.
It particularly studied DES in terms of types, technological features, application domains, policy landscape, and the faced challenges and prospective solutions. Distributed energy systems are an integral part of the sustainable energy transition. DES avoid/minimize transmission and distribution setup, thus saving on cost and losses.
