Renewable energy is energy that comes from natural sources that are almost always available, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and even heat. Since creating environmentally-friendly energy solutions is crucial, the renewable energy industry has become a key business that will only increase in importance in future years and decades.
Solar energy is often regarded as the most efficient renewable energy source for generating electricity. However, constructing a solar energy system requires the sophisticated integration of a variety of systems.
Currently, the Renewable and Distributed Systems Integration Program (RDSI) is helping alleviate congestion, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve reliability in specific areas, such as microgrid technologies, distributed generation systems, bi-directional communications, and demand response programs. It is estimated that by 2015 the RDSI program can help reduce peak load on distribution feeders by 20%.
