Preparing the GRID for RENEWABLE Resources

摘要

California's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requiring investor-owned utilities, electric service providers and community choice aggregators to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 33 percent of total procurement by 2020 is the most aggressive in the nation, compelling providers to meet the challenge head on. Large-scale integration of distributed energy resources such as wind and solar with electric power systems presents operational and planning challenges that all regulated utilities will eventually face in the years ahead as more renewable capacity comes on line.
