MODERN SOLUTIONS FOR CONNECTING RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES INTO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY SYSTEM

Abstract

According to the Energy Strategy of Ukraine, the development of renewable energy sources (RES) is expected to be the most dynamic compared to other types of generation. However, the existing energy problems and threats require the development of new and amendment of existing legislative and by-laws, as well as a number of sectoral norms regulat-ing activities in the energy sector. The article provides an overview of the world's current trends in renewable energy, as well as the formation of areas that should be focused on when reforming the energy sector. The long-term energy policy of the state should be focused on the effective integration of RES into the power supply system. To this end, it is necessary to stimulate and control the implementation of distributed power generation management systems, virtual power plants, and energy storage systems. The gradual growth of electric vehicles leads to the use of Vehicle-to-Grid technology, especially when considering modern microgrids or "smart grids" with RES. And the concept of an "active building" is a key step towards decarbonizing the construction sector. Ref. 9, fig. 2.
