SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SMOOTHING PHOTOVOLTAIC GENERATION INTERMITTENCY

The present invention provides a system and method for smoothing photovoltaic power generation. Photovoltaic power plants have the inherent problem of generation intermittency caused by the variation in weather conditions over a period of seconds, minutes, and hours. This intermittency results in a variability of active power injection into the electrical grid by the photovoltaic power plant.
