Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!
Publication - Renewable Energy Integration in Power Grids

There are several technology options available that can help integrate variable renewable energy into power systems. Furthermore, new advances in wind and solar technologies allow them to be used over a wider range of conditions. In the longer run, however, power systems with high shares of variable renewable power generation will require a re-thinking the traditional designs, operations, and planning practices from a technical and an economical point of view.
Two immediate applications for innovative technologies and operation modes for the integration of high shares of solar photovoltaics and wind are in mini-grids and islands. Furthermore, any economic analysis of the transition towards a renewables-based system should always consider the total system costs, including social and environmental benefits.
This technology brief accompanies IRENA’s Power Sector Transformation package.
It also belongs to a continuing Technology Briefs series produced by IRENA in collaboration with the International Energy Agency’s Energy Technology Systems Analysis Programme (IEA-ETSAP).
