While energy management systems support grid integration by balancing power supply with demand, they are usually either predictive or real-time and therefore unable to utilise the full array of supply and demand responses, limiting grid integration of renewable energy sources. This limitation is overcome by an integrated energy management system.
Renewable energy source integration with power systems is one of the main concepts of smart grids. Due to the variability and limited predictability of these sources, there are many challenges associated with integration. This paper reviews integration of solar systems into electricity grids.
In the technology of distributed solar power plants, scholars are constantly exploring the integration of solar modules into building materials or structures, and efficient integration of new energy power generation technologies with urban buildings. This technology is already photovoltaic building integration.
Integrated energy management systems have multiple energy sources and controls. Efficient energy management involves predictive and real-time control of the system. Energy forecasting, demand and supply side management make up an integrated system. Renewable smart hybrid mini-grids suitable for integrated energy management systems.
In reviewing the existing literature on IEMS, it was determined that there are five major parts of an IEMS framework that supports solar energy integration: the power system the IEMS operates in, solar energy forecasting (SEF), demand side management (DSM), and supply side management (SSM).
To determine the design scheme for grid-connected work, factors such as access voltage level, access point location and operation mode of PV power generation must be considered. For the most common small PV power stations, there are two main grid connection methods:
