| Resumo: | The availability and accessibility of renewable energy in locations worldwide make it play a leading role in the decarbonization process of the energy sector. Moreover, this ’wide availability’ makes renewables the most suitable type of energy source to stop depending to a large extent on fossil fuel exporting countries; countries that often have a high degree of social and political instability. Thus, power systems are transitioning towards a renewable-based model that allows the use of fossil fuels to be abandoned. However, this implies a number of technical and operational challenges that need to be addressed by society in general and energy companies and governments, in particular, to efficiently and safely integrate this growing renewable energy generation capacity into power systems. The most remarkable challenges to be met are those related to the intermittency of these clean sources and the maintenance of the system’s reliability and stability. Electricity is not always generated during the periods of time when it is most needed, and its production results in power systems that are less predictable, more difficult to control and less synchronous. These challenges give rise to the proposal of a number of solutions, such as energy storage, the development of new energy carriers such as green hydrogen and the establishment of virtual power plants. |
