Although pivotal to the transition towards sustainable energy sources, the integration of a large number of photovoltaic plants presents unique challenges for the system operator in ensuring grid stability and security. Therefore, it has become increasingly important for these plants to provide adequate grid support services and maintain voltage and frequency stability, similar to conventional generators. In this context, this paper critically analyses the diverse strategies and advanced trends for acquiring grid support services from solar photovoltaic power plants. The relevant procedures are garnered from the literature, which dates back to the earliest reported methods. The review encompasses the analysis of different applications related to active power control for frequency regulation, reactive power control for voltage regulation, and black-start support for system restoration. The paper also examines the existing challenges and delves into the opportunities to transform the interaction of photovoltaic power plants with electricity grids. As solar photovoltaic penetration increases, the role of these grid support services becomes ever more critical, requiring innovative solutions, conducive regulatory frameworks, and a thriving market structure to support the continuously evolving energy landscape.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"210 ","pages":"Article 115133"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142759117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They consist of vertical posts between which vertical solar panels are mounted. A significant part of the structural costs of these frames comes from their high wind load, which requires large diameter posts, often with wind bracing, and substantial foundations. This research focuses on free-swinging agrivoltaic fences, a new concept that allows panels to 'float' in the wind, an akin to clothes drying on a clothesline. In other words, the panels are suspended from hinged joints, allowing them to swing in strong winds. This study demonstrates that the internal forces in the posts are more than 8 times lower than those induced by fixed vertical panels and scales various parameters involved such as the height of the system, the wind force acting on the panel, its dimensions and weight. The results highlight the fact that the maximum forces generated in the posts of such a system are independent of the wind model considered and can be determined using only the weight of the panel, the height at which it is fixed and the position of the wind pressure on the panel's surface. Finally the study provides a much more reliable and safer design methodology than that used for vertical fixed panels. Design curves are established to provide designers with guidelines on what type of section to use, whether it is steel or timber.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"210 ","pages":"Article 115160"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142759116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sustainable development goal 7 stipulates the need for affordable, clean energy to meet human and industrial needs. Abundance of organic waste, in developing economies, makes methane from biogas a major source of renewable energy. The main limitation being that the raw biogas contains carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and other unwanted gases, therefore it requires purification to remove non-methane components. However, existing biogas purification and upgrading systems are relatively expensive and require sophisticated technology and skills to operate them, hence they are unaffordable especially in many developing economies. Besides, these technologies are mainly applicable to large scale systems and are unsuitable for the small-scale systems mostly found in developing economies. This review critically evaluates the potential of low-cost biogas purification materials such as iron rich soils, activated carbon from solid waste, waste iron fillings, and biomass ash for use in household and small-scale biogas plants. These materials have demonstrated considerable performance achieving the following removal efficiencies; clay (90 %); iron-rich New Zealand Brown soil (93.8 %); commercial steel wool (95 %); and compost (80 %). This study proposes new ways to improve the performance of these materials through proper pretreatment of biomass ash to reduce moisture content, surface modification of activated carbon for improved acid gas uptake, integration of adsorbents to create synergy, regeneration and reuse of these adsorbents to promote sustainability. Low-cost materials demonstrate great promise towards achieving SDG 7 especially in developing economies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"210 ","pages":"Article 115152"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142759766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the results show that a predominant view among studies is that China is poised to achieve its carbon peak target from 2027 to 2030, anticipating a peak emission range of approximately 11.60–13.17 Gt CO<sub>2</sub>e. Besides, this research provides a comprehensive analysis of the research methodologies, parameter selection, and scenario settings in this field. It offers readers a thorough overview of the area, helping potential researchers to quickly enter the field. Key findings include: (1) the grey model, the artificial intelligence model, the IPAT-derived model, and the system dynamics model are the predominant forecasting models, with the IPAT-derived model being favoured for the national and regional areas and system dynamics for the industry. (2) Scenario settings are typically structured on a 5-year basis, with 3–5 scenarios considered reasonable for policy recommendation as they provide multi-faceted analysis while avoiding information overload and resource wastage.

This reduction in the number of large conventional generators is leading to a need to reconsider black start practices and to question whether restoration of a de-energized network through a skeleton transmission system should be replaced by establishing multiple power islands each with smaller generating units.

Nevertheless, adoption patterns for plug-in PV systems are not well understood, especially given their unique characteristics, which limit the applicability of insights derived from residential rooftop systems. This study addresses this research gap by applying spatial econometric models to investigate plug-in PV system adoption, revealing pronounced disparities. Our findings show that income support recipients are less negatively associated with plug-in PV adoption compared to larger rooftop systems, indicating that the lower upfront costs of plug-in PV systems may reduce financial barriers. Furthermore, the influence of household income on adoption is weaker for plug-in systems, suggesting that these systems may be more accessible to lower-income households. Contrary to expectations, solar radiation plays a less significant role in the adoption of plug-in PV. Additionally, the negative effect of the proportion of rented apartments on adoption is less pronounced for plug-in systems, highlighting their suitability for renters. Regional subsidies have demonstrated a positive impact on plug-in PV adoption, further emphasizing the potential of targeted support programs.
