Provision of frequency related services from PV systems

This is the final report of IEA PVPS Task 14, focusing on the potential of distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) and PV hybrid systems in providing frequency-related grid services. This comprehensive report underscores the growing importance of renewable energy sources in maintaining stable and secure electrical power systems as the reliance on conventional fossil-fuelled power plants diminishes.
The report highlights the necessity for solar PV systems, along with other inverter-coupled generators such as wind turbines and storage units, to take on additional grid support tasks traditionally managed by conventional power plants. These responsibilities are critical to ensure the stable operation of electrical power systems worldwide.
