The Smart Grid is a crucial component of a low-carbon development strategy, playing a vital role in the future of the national power grid, energy security, and sustainable energy development. Unlike the traditional centralized power grid model, the Smart Grid incorporates not only conventional power plants but also various sources of renewable energy generation. By integrating new energy sources such as wind, solar, and ocean power, the Smart Grid aims to meet at least 30% of energy demand. These renewable energy sources have significant resource potential and offer sustainable solutions for meeting energy needs, protecting the environment, and driving economic growth. However, they are subject to geographical limitations and environmental factors, resulting in unpredictable, intermittent, and less stable power generation. This unpredictability often leads to frequency deviations and voltage fluctuations, which can cause issues in grid operation. Therefore, wind farms occasionally face grid restrictions and even forced shutdowns. Without addressing these challenges, the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources will be hindered.
