Germany's Power Grid under Increasing Pressure
With
a steep growth of power generation from photovoltaic (PV) and wind
power and with 8 GW base load capacity suddenly taken out of service the
situation in Germany has developed into a nightmare for system
operators.Figure 1The peak demand in Germany is about 80 GW. The
variations of wind and PV generation create situations which require
long distance transport of huge amounts of power. The grid capacity is
far from sufficient for these transports. The result is a remarkably
large number of curtailments of RES (Renewable Energy Sources).Reports…Read more...
