A grid connection point is where local energy sources and loads link to the power grid, facilitating electricity exchange and efficient energy distribution.
GCP explained – gridX A grid connection point (GCP) is the specific location where a grid user – can be an energy producer supplying power to the grid or an energy consumer drawing power from the grid – is physically connected to the grid infrastructure.
The grid connection point in wind energy has a critical task in ensuring a stable and reliable electric grid. Through load flow and contingency analysis studies, the GCP allows for a comprehensive examination of how wind generation affects voltage variations under normal operating conditions and during contingencies.
This connection point enables the solar energy generated to be fed into the grid, allowing the excess energy to be distributed and used by other consumers within the electrical grid, (if storing locally is unavailable).
In an era characterized by the decentralization, decarbonization, and digitalization (three Ds) of the energy industry, ensuring grid’s readiness to seamlessly integrate distributed energy resources (DERs) is of utmost importance.
Especially, a detailed review of battery ESSs (BESSs) is provided as they are attracting much attention owing, in part, to the ongoing electrification of transportation. Then, the services that grid-connected ESSs provide to the grid are discussed. Grid connection of the BESSs requires power electronic converters.
