Abstract

The integration of renewable energy sources (RES) into the electrical grid has become a critical aspect of sustainable energy systems worldwide. This paper discusses the challenges associated with integrating RES while maintaining grid stability. As renewable energy generation is variable and dependent on weather conditions, it poses significant challenges to the predictability and stability of the grid. This study examines various aspects of grid stability, including frequency regulation, voltage control, and power quality. The paper proposes innovative solutions such as energy storage systems, demand response, and advanced control strategies to address these challenges. Furthermore, it explores the impact of large-scale renewable energy integration on grid infrastructure and the need for upgraded transmission and distribution systems. The findings indicate that while there are substantial challenges, with proper planning and technology advancements, renewable energy can be successfully integrated into the grid without compromising its stability.
