Integration of PV and Wind Energy Systems: Strategies for Balancing Energy Supply and Demand
Abstract
The increasing integration of renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy, is a crucial step toward reducing carbon emissions and achieving a sustainable energy future. However, the inherent variability of these renewable sources poses significant challenges to balancing energy supply and demand. This paper explores various strategies for integrating PV and wind energy systems to ensure a balanced and reliable power supply. The proposed approaches involve the use of advanced control systems, energy storage solutions, and demand-side management techniques to mitigate the fluctuations associated with PV and wind energy. Simulation results demonstrate that the effective coordination of PV and wind power with energy storage and demand-side response enhances grid stability, reduces power imbalances, and ensures a reliable power supply. This research provides insights into optimizing the integration of renewable energy sources for a more resilient and efficient energy system.
