Benefits
The increasing demand for solar and other renewable energy resources presents new challenges for the management of the grid. The fluctuation nature of DERs also (Distributed Energy Resources) requires regulations to effectively “handshake” with existing utilities. Smart inverters function as the “brains” of DERs can prevent grid instability by utilizing its control schemes and operational limitations and eventually helping increase penetration of the renewable energies and thus providing a sustainable and environmental friendly power solution.
