1 The IEA PVPS Task 14 High penetration PV in Electricity Grids Roland Bründlinger and Christoph Mayr AIT Austrian Institute of Technology 2014 Kyoto, Japan November 25, 2014

2 Outline Challenges of PV integration Overview IEA PVPS Task 14 Results and publications Summary and outlook

3 (Quelle: EPIA-Global Market Outlook 2013), 2012 figures IEA INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY High Penetration of PV in Electricity Grids A global trend End 2013: Estimated >130 GW installed worldwide (+35% from 2012) (EPIA) PV penetration levels growing worldwide DEU ~36 GW CHN ~19 GW (+11 in 2013!) ITA ~17 GW JAP ~14 GW (+7 in 2013) USA ~13 GW

4 Task 14: Overall objectives of this international collaboration Promote the use of grid connected PV as an important source in electric power systems also on a high penetration level where additional efforts may be necessary to integrate the dispersed generators in an optimum manner. Develop and verify mainly technical requirements for PV and electric power systems to allow for high penetrations of PV systems interconnected with the grid Discuss the active role of PV systems related to energy management and system control of electricity grids Reduce the technical barriers to achieve high penetration levels of distributed renewable energy systems on the electric power system

5 Task 14: Overall objectives of this international collaboration Discuss the market implications of technical solutions for the integration of PV at high penetration levels Discuss and develop new solutions for operation and grid planning for High PV Penetration scenarios Re-think existing rules-of-thumb and practices with respect to their validity with high-penetration PV Discuss the opportunities for PV to provide advanced grid support services for local as well as system wide use. Discuss the possible role of PV in a future Smart Grid

13 Smart Inverters for High-Pen PV Worldwide collection and review of requirements for PV inverters and grid connection Functional requirements Protection Control Safety Focus: specific requirements for grid support by PV Compatibility of requirements with High- Pen PV

14 High Penetration of PV in Electricity Grids Summary and key conclusions Increasing penetration levels of PV (and RES) present challenges on the overall power system as well as on the local levels PVPS Task 14 shows, that solutions for integrating PV on high penetration levels are available, they still need to be implemented in an appropriate way Task 14 supports PV integration on high penetration levels access to more transparent technical analyses guidelines and best practices for industry, network operators, energy planners as well as authorities in the energy business comprehensive international studies for high penetration PV Active dissemination of successful experiences and examples of High Penetration PV
