Challenges in T&D for Renewable Energy
Intermittency: Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are variable, requiring the grid to be more flexible and resilient.
Grid Stability: Managing the flow of electricity from decentralized and intermittent sources while maintaining grid stability is complex.
Infrastructure Upgrades: Many existing T&D systems need upgrades to handle the integration of large amounts of renewable energy, which can be both technically challenging and expensive.
Energy Losses: Transmission and distribution losses are inherent in any grid, but advanced technologies and better grid management can reduce these losses.
Regulatory and Policy Issues: The integration of renewables into T&D systems often requires regulatory changes and incentives to encourage grid modernization and the adoption of new technologies.
