Impact Analysis of Renewable Energy in National Grids for Energy Deficit Countries

Abstract

For countries like Pakistan where demand of energy is being increased every year, the design of a framework that analyzes the impact of adding renewable energy to the power grid is of high interest. Such analysis may help ensure a reliable energy supply, and identify energy savings opportunities. Appropriate simulation tools are needed in order to discover the best approach. Such impact analysis also results in cost-effective generation and, further, in environmental improvements. In this paper, one analysis frame work is proposed. The main objective of this study is to propose a framework that helps optimize development and implementation of renewable energy resources focusing on their probable advantages to improve both the electricity system and the environment. The results of this analysis will be helpful in determining the performance issues related to generation, transmission and green technology. Prime locations inside system may be identified where adequate renewable generation may efficiently address transmission crisis.
