The Impact of the Inclusion of Renewable Energy in Smart Grid Consumer Classification

Flashcards based on a lecture about integrating renewable energy in smart grids for consumer classification.

Integrating solar photovoltaic systems into smart grids can transform traditional energy consumers into __.

prosumers

Consumers who install PV panels not only consume energy but also __ it.

generate

The project focuses on modelling and analysing the shift in how consumers interact with the grid, specifically in __ and surrounding areas.

Birmingham

One of the objectives was to model __ integration using various system sizes.

PV

The transformation from to was a key area of study.

consumer, prosumer

Data was sourced from PVGIS for __ data.

solar irradiance

__ load profiles were used for both domestic and non-domestic consumers.

Elexon

The results showed that the solar output was __ across the tested locations.

consistent

A 2.1 or 3.5kWp PV system could meet the needs of a typical __ household.

domestic

Periods were shown when PV output exceeded demand, meaning the household was supplying energy back to the __, essentially acting as a prosumer.

grid

Solar integration reduces __ dependence and enables reclassification from consumer to prosumer.

grid

The model developed was validated with __ data.
