Abstract

This article addresses the integration of renewable energy power plants into smart grids and active power control. Renewable energy sources contribute to environmentally friendly and sustainable energy production, but the fluctuations inherent in these sources pose a challenge for energy grids. The article examines various technologies that can be used to overcome this challenge and make energy grids more reliable. Smart grids aim to improve energy grids by optimizing energy production, transmission, and distribution using data analytics, automation, and communication technologies. The integration of renewable energy power plants into these smart grids offers significant advantages, including the ability to predict energy production, integrate with energy storage systems, and manage energy demand. The article also emphasizes the importance of active power control. Active power control is used to manage energy production steadily, thereby maintaining grid stability. Balancing energy fluctuations from renewable energy sources and storing excess energy when needed enhances grid stability. In conclusion, this article discusses the crucial role of integrating renewable energy power plants into smart grids and implementing active power control in the energy sector. These integration and control methods are important steps in making energy grids more sustainable, efficient, and reliable.
