“…Onshore wind farms are usually grouped near grid stations on landscapes or mountains, mostly near coastal areas, whereas offshore wind farms are installed deep into the sea. Offshore technology is slowly adopted in the last few years due to higher uniform wind speed in deep oceans . Offshore wind farms usually have more nameplate capacity ratings than onshore farms.…”

“…86 It has been found in literature that power quality issues can occur at distribution, generation, and transmission side in all RES integrated grids. 55 Intermittent characteristics of solar PV appears due to rapid alterations between sunshine and clouds which cause voltage fluctuation and unbalance, whereas, varying wind speed affects the wind power generation. 87 Voltage flickers caused by the impact of machines vary inversely with the fault level at point of common coupling which impose significant impact on grid.…”

Summary In the modern world, only conventional energy resources cannot fulfil the growing energy demand. Electricity is a fundamental building block of a technological revolution. Today, most of the electricity demand is met by the burning of fossil fuels but at the cost of adverse environmental impact. In order to bridge the gap between electricity demand and supply, nonconventional and eco‐friendly means of energy generation are considered. Renewable energy systems (RESs) offer an adequate solution to mitigate the challenges originated due to greenhouse gasses (GHG). However, they have an unpredictable power generation with specific site requirements. Grid integration of RESs may lead to new challenges related to power quality, reliability, power system stability, harmonics, subsynchronous oscillations (SSOs), power quality, and reactive power compensation. The integration with energy storage systems (ESSs) can reduce these complexities that arise due to the intermittent nature of RESs. In this paper, a comprehensive review of renewable energy sources has been presented. Application of ESSs in RESs and their development phase has been discussed. Role of ESSs in increasing lifetime, efficiency, and energy density of power system having RESs has been reviewed. Moreover, different techniques to solve the critical issues like low efficiency, harmonics, and inertia reduction in photovoltaic (PV) systems have been presented. Unlike most of the available review papers, this article also investigates the impact of FACTS technology in RESs‐based power system using multitype flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers. Three simulation models have been developed in MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that FACTS devices help to maintain the stability of RESs integrated power system. This review paper is believed to be of potential benefit for researchers from both the industry and academia to develop better understanding of challenges and solution techniques for REs‐based power systems and future research dimensions in this area.

In the modern era, most of the utility grid is connected with Renewable Energy resources (RERs). In addition to this, many power electronic converters and reactive power compensating devices are also incorporated into the existing grid. This makes the system complicated. Penetration of renewable energy resources affect many power system parameters like grid stability, quality of power, reactive power balance and Sufficient energy utilization. However, the Distributed Generation (DG) towards the power electronic interface creates some critical power quality events such as reactive power management, harmonics and voltage profile which makes the distributed system become a polluted one. This paper depicts the review of modelling and incorporation of various reactive power compensating devices like TCSC, SVC and STATCOM into RES. Power generation model of solar, wind and fuel farm is discussed in this paper. Reactive power compensating devices and its location and sizing are important for the stable and secure operation of the electric grid. Consequently, power quality issues, real-time interconnection issues and policies related to reactive power management are in this paper.

“…As on March 31, 2012 the grid-connected power generation from green energy sources is 24914 MW i.e. around 12.1 % of the total installed energy capacity [3]. Further Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the Indian government is targeting to achieve 20000 MW grid interactive powers through solar and 38500 MW from wind by 2022 [4].…”

A major challenge for developing countries is access to electricity in rural area for accelerating its growth. There are significant impediment from the utilities to extend either improved service to the rural user or provide extended hours of supply through conventional grid supply. In developing countries, the most significant challenges are technologies used to upgrade and methods for electrification, which results in poor reliability of supply and high distribution losses, leading to hindering both economic and social development, so energy planners have suggested a hybrid energy system for the electrification of rural areas. This study investigates green energy based integrated generation for rural loads. This proposed system can orchestrate with the grid as well as with the renewable energy-based generator. The wind energy has a natural variance, to satisfy the energy demand during the nocturnal and overcast period a complementary renewable energy generator is critical, or an energy storage mechanism is needed to meet the energy demand. This type of pooled exploitation and interconnection is used to improve the reliability and resilience of the grids. The integration of distributed and clean energy resource like wind generation will reduce fossil fuel emissions and provides electricity in areas which are limitedly served by unified electrical infrastructure. Hence, it is expected to develop/modify technologies available for harnessing renewable energy sources. A MATLAB/Simulink is used to build a model for a grid-wind based integrated generation. Results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink are a close match with a practical system.
