Management of Electricity Peak Load by Using Solar PV: Assessment of Feasibility Study

Electric load management strategies such as peak load reduction, load shifting and energy conservation are effective solutions to save and optimize electricity usage. Solar cells photovoltaic systems (solar PV) represent modern method used in the management of peak loads in the electric power system because PV generation coincides with peak load hours in the day. So, this thought gives an idea about assessment the feasibility of using solar cells as a tool for peak load management instead of conventional electricity sources. Solar energy is a clean, free and green energy.
