Introduction
The rapid increase in the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, into power grids has brought significant changes to the traditional energy landscape. The transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy system is crucial in addressing global climate change and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. However, the integration of renewable energy sources poses several challenges to power grids, including grid stability, reliability, and efficiency.
This thesis aims to investigate the impact of renewable energy integration on power grids. By examining the challenges and opportunities associated with the increased penetration of renewable energy sources, this study seeks to provide insights into the potential solutions for ensuring the smooth integration of renewables into power grids.
