Electric Grid: Interconnected network for delivering
electricity from suppliers to consumers Consists of generating station,
transmission lines, distribution lines and substation
Maintains instantaneous balance between supply and demand

3 components of Electric Grid:
Generation: creating electricity Transmission: Moving it from bulk
generators to distribution centers Distribution: bringing it from
substations to homes and industries

SOLAR ENERGY
![Page 7: Solar and Electric Grid](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/555be74dd8b42a38078b5055/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Solar Energy Potential:
The amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth’s surface every hour is greater than humankind’s total demand for energy in one year
As of February 2006, Photovoltaic technology accounted for less than 1% of worldwide electricity generation.

Solar Generated Electricity:i) Photovoltaic Cells (PV)
ii) Concentrating Solar Power (CSP)

Photovoltaic Cells:
Photovoltaic cells convert light energy to electric current by Photoelectric effect
Produce direct current which fluctuates with light intensity
For practical use it should be converted to a certain fix voltage or AC current through the use of Inverters.

Concentrating Solar Power: Requires direct sunlight use lenses or mirrors to focus large area
of sunlight into smaller beam Not very effective in cloudy conditions Two approaches
i) Power Tower
ii) Parabolic Through

GRID CONNECTED PV SYSTEM:
![Page 17: Solar and Electric Grid](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/555be74dd8b42a38078b5055/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
When a solar energy system is connected to the grid it is capable of sending electricity to the grid that can be used at a later time when the system is not producing electricity.
In the most simplest terms pulling energy from the grid when needed and supplying energy to the grid when energy is not being used at the solar site.

Advantages:
Eliminates the need of batteries Reduces cost and maintenance Highly efficient use of the system Long life span Ensures a constant supply of electricity

Grid connected PV Components:
Photovoltaic Cells Inverters Wiring Charge controller Disconnect switch Electrical Meter Total system cost = ~ 8$/watt

Net metering: Electricity delivered to the grid can be
compensated in several ways "Net metering", is where the entity that owns the
renewable energy power source receives compensation from the utility for its net outflow of power.
For example, if during a given month a power system feeds 500 kilowatt-hours into the grid and uses 100 kilowatt-hours from the grid, it would receive compensation for 400 kilowatt-hours

Grid Tie Inverter:
Special type of power inverter converts DC to AC
And feeds it into existing electrical grid During period of overproduction, power
is routed into the grid During insufficient power production it
purchases power from utility company
