Experiences with grid integration of renewable energy sources (RES) are being made around the globe. Many countries run their own grid research programmes. In the Task 14 of the Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) of the International Energy Agency (IEA) experiences are shared. In several subtasks and activities information is collected and discussed and distributed back to the individual countries.
This year the Task 14 started its 3rd phase for the period from 2018 to 2022. Since PV is now already deployed in many locations, the T14 experts decided to focus this term on the next challenge which is to increase the amount of PV to reach 100% of RES. The main goal of the Task is to think how to make this possible. Therefore, the Task name was changed from “High penetration of PV Systems in Electricity Grids” to “Solar PV in 100% RES based on power system”.
