Proposal for an aggregated solar PV power plant simulation model for grid code compliance

Renewable energy and, in particular, solar PV power, will play a crucial role in achieving net-zero emissions scenarios over the coming decades. Increasing the share of renewables in countries’ energy mixes is therefore a major challenge that must be urgently addressed. Within this context, the pres...
