A Case Study of Addressing Challenges of Renewable Energy Integration in Thailand

From the current situation, the rise of variable renewable energy (VRE), which has the nature of creating fluctuations in the electrical power grid, has a direct impact on controlling the electrical power system to be stable and reliable. This paper explores the impact of integrating renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, into Thailand's electrical power system on the loading curve. By the year 2024, renewable energy accounts for approximately 20% of the energy mix in Thailand, with plans to increase to 30% within the next five years.
