Enabling Smart Integration of Renewable Energy in National Energy Transport Infrastructures

摘要

In the near future Smart Grid will be able to monitor and control key elements in the generation, transmission and distribution of energy to the end-user. This concept is in full development, but it will take a lot of time to achieve "maturity". Activities like consumer education, development of standards, technology improvement need to be carried out so that the concept of Smart Grid takes form. This paper provides an analysis on how SmartGrid concepts can be used in the development of innovative devices that would enable integration of renewable energy sources in the energy transport infrastructure. The functions and architecture of such a device is presented, with focus on the production optimization and increasing energy system reliability.
