Emerging Power Quality Challenges Due To Integration of Solar and Wind Energy Sources: A Review

Abstract

Today, the demand for energy has increased significantly because fossil fuels are consumed at too high a price. If the current situation persists, the younger generation is likely to be at a disadvantage in energy consumption. The hybrid system is a precise solution to prevent customers from running out of energy and meeting their needs. Solar and wind energy are abundantly extracted and can be considered a reliable source of power generation. The hybrid wind / solar energy RES is integrated into the grid using a grid interface inverter that contains electronic power switches that cause harmonics in the grid, reducing the power quality on the load side.
