Grid interconnection policies serve as an important backdrop to broader reforms and market factors influencing the integration of renewable energy (renewable energy) on the electric grid.
Modern electrical grids are much more complex. In addition to large utility-scale plants, modern grids also involve variable energy sources like solar and wind, energy storage systems, power electronic devices like inverters, and small-scale energy generation systems like rooftop installations and microgrids.
While the number of PV systems interconnected to the grid has increased significantly over the last decade, only recently have PV systems been installed in major metropolitan areas and tied to electric distribution secondary network systems (networks).
However, systems like rooftop solar now require the grid to handle two-way electricity flow, as these systems can inject the excess power that they generate back into the grid. Increased solar and DER on the electrical grid means integrating more power electronic devices, which convert energy from one form to another.
