Climate change may affect the future stability of grid-connected solar power systems – something that needs to be considered in the planning of Australia’s renewable energy transition.
Modelling conducted by researchers from UNSW Sydney shows the magnitude, frequency and duration of disruptive solar generation events, called ramps, will significantly change over the next century. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, could help inform the development of future solar power infrastructure in Australia.
Grid-connected solar power systems – sometimes called large-scale photovoltaics (PV) – are Australia’s fastest-growing renewable energy technology.
