Abstract:
This paper explores the integration of renewable energy sources into smart grids, emphasizing the pivotal role and technological advancements that facilitate this integration. With a focus on advanced inverters, grid management software, and diverse energy storage solutions, the study highlights how these technologies enhance grid stability and efficiency amidst the variability of renewable sources such as wind and solar. Case studies from Denmark and Chattanooga, Tennessee, provide practical insights into the successful application of these technologies, showcasing their effectiveness in real-world settings. The findings suggest that smart grid technologies not only support the substantial inclusion of renewable energy but also promote enhanced grid reliability, energy sustainability, and resource optimization.
