Sustainable grid management is need of the hour
.

Today, most of the power grid is of an older design that was designed for consuming and producing conventional power. When we talk about generation or production, it used to be large power plants located in one area, but we moved closer to where the resources were available. Today, the plants are comparatively smaller and are designed to strengthen and fulfil the local power demand. A few large local plants were supplied, but now many small plants have distributed generating stations.
Grid integration
We are gradually shifting toward decentralisation of power, disregarding boundaries. We are connecting various ends, unlike earlier, when we had the grid centralised as a national grid connecting a limited network. Smallscale transmission is required for more efficient generation utilisation. Also, there is a need for improved and modernised communication to understand supply and demand better. Consumers must actively participate in understanding the supply and distribution system.
The primary goal of RE grid integration Renewable energy integration focuses on incorporating renewable energy distributed generation, energy storage, thermally activated technologies, and demand response into the electrical distribution and transmission system. Integration into demand management is necessary; we are facing many challenges regarding demand management, which must be handled well. The next objective is the power quality of the domains, which is highly impacted, especially the reactive power control, which is a major challenge. We are paying higher costs to reduce carbon emissions through resource integration, which is a critical factor.
Reducing the peak load and lowering the electrical cost

Integration of RE sources
During periods of high generation, electricity can be stored for use later during periods of high demand. Variability in the output of one resource type can be balanced out by integrating various renewable sources. In terms of problems like voltage flickering, unbalanced phase voltages, and harmonics of this warped or tainted supply, current power quality management systems are well equipped today. These problems can be solved by the following technologies:
VAR compensators, active filter surge suppressors, automated power sector controllers, and transient controllers. Implementing microgrid generating technologies, such as microturbines, wind, solar, fuel cells, and other energy sources, can also help reduce peak loads and isolate redundancy issues and other things.
The utilisation of conventional resources may drastically decrease by integrating all of these renewable resources into the grid, which will significantly increase efficiency for both the generation and transportation of this electricity to the load centres, and the benefit to the environment is undeniable. Sustainable energy is unquestionably a necessity of the hour since it contributes to the energy security issue that I mentioned. Natural resources must also be included now.
