Harnessing the Sun: Evaluating photovoltaic innovations and smart grid synergies for enhanced renewable energy integration
Keywords:
Grid modernization, Photovoltaic (PV) technology, Policy implications, Renewable energy deployment, Smart grid integrationAbstract
This review explores the integration of photovoltaic (PV) innovations with smart grid technologies, aiming to assess their combined impact on renewable energy deployment and grid modernization. The objectives include evaluating recent advancements in PV technology, examining the role of smart grids in optimizing PV integration, and identifying key challenges and policy implications. Methodologically, a systematic literature review was conducted, synthesizing findings from academic research, industry reports, and policy documents. Key findings highlight significant improvements in PV efficiency and cost-effectiveness, driven by innovations such as advanced inverters and energy storage systems. Smart grid technologies play a crucial role in enhancing grid stability and flexibility, managing the variability of solar generation, and supporting the integration of decentralized energy sources. Challenges identified include regulatory barriers, technological interoperability issues, and the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures. Policy implications underscore the importance of supportive regulatory frameworks, financial incentives, and international cooperation to accelerate PV-smart grid integration globally. In conclusion, integrating PV technology with smart grids offers substantial potential to advance sustainable energy transitions, mitigate climate change impacts, and enhance energy security while promoting economic growth and resilience in the face of evolving energy challenges.
