| Summary: | Incorporating energy from renewable
resources into power system planning is an important issue.
As countries generate more energy from renewable sources,
that energy must become part of the power-system planning
process. In 2004, investments in all forms of clean energy
represented about 20 percent of total global investment in
generation capacity. By 2011, that share had topped 40
percent. This paper explains the various reasons behind the
push for renewable sources, chief among them being reducing
climate-altering emissions. The paper answers the following
questions giving a brief synopsis of each: What is the key
challenge? What solutions are available? What are the key
lessons learned. A few case studies are also used throughout
to illustrate key points. |
