Tuesday, 2.15.2011 - 16:46 (Renewable Energy World)
As states across the country set higher and more aggressive renewable energy goals, our nation's grid operators and utility planners have responded with increasing concern about the impact that those resources may have on electric grid systems. Unlike the fossil fuel generators around which our existing energy infrastructure has been planned and built, solar generation fuel is inherently variable. Both the daily movements of the sun and short-term changes in weather conditions both have real, direct impact on a PV system's electric output.
