Abstract
Planning for Rapid Capacity Additions
The research service titled Grid Integration Challenges of Renewable Energy in
South Africa deals with the issues involved with interconnecting variable
renewable energy generation facilities into the South African transmission and
distribution grid network. Renewable energy poses a new challenge to
transmission system operators due to its inherent intermittency, uncertainty,
as well as the fact that it cannot be dispatched. However, as the Grid
Integration Challenges of Renewable Energy in South Africa research service
concludes, these issues only start becoming a major issue at relatively high
renewable energy penetration rates.
