As renewable energy market penetration grows, understanding the impact of centralized or distributed solar and wind technologies on the power grid becomes increasingly important for ensuring reliable and economical operations. Having played a central role in many influential grid integration studies Green Park consultant has the expertise and experience to help your organization address such issues as:
• The cost and reliability tradeoffs between building solar and wind plants close to the demand or farther away where the resource may be better.
• The impact of geographic diversity on the aggregate variability of solar and wind generation, as well as on the associated requirements for generating reserves, storage, and other services.
• The impact of variable wind and solar generation on reserve requirements at different time scales (from seconds to hours).
• A comparative assessment of the reliability and cost impacts of offshore and onshore wind projects.
• Transmission requirements to support high market penetration of wind and solar energy.
• The role and value of wind and solar forecasting.
We have capability to carry out such studies ourselves. We also frequently team with leading power consultants.
