Solar panel fluctuations disrupt electricity service, reports CUED

Santo Domingo.-  The Unified Council of Electricity Distribution Companies (CUED) has reported power interruptions in various parts of the country due to fluctuations in photovoltaic energy generation. These disruptions occur when clouds reduce solar radiation, causing sudden drops in energy output from solar parks.

According to RC Noticias, CUED President Celso Marranzini apologized to affected customers, emphasizing that the issue is beyond the control of electricity distribution companies. “We understand the inconvenience our customers are experiencing, but there is little we can do to address incidents caused by natural phenomena,” Marranzini stated.

The council continues to monitor the situation and encourages customers to remain patient as they work to stabilize the electricity service amidst these challenges.

These grid systems are supposed to be balanced with battery storage. This levels out intermittent energy production. If the sun is not shining, the wind is likely blowing. There are many times both are happening at the same time. Store to excess in batteries, for the times one or the other or both are not producing enough power.

Agree with you.

It seems there is an imbalance with the solar panels and storage batteries. It also could be there is not sufficient storage to meet electrical demand. It may be suggested the integration of energy from the solar panels to batteries to inverters to the grid… the balance, has not been properly formulated to adjust to environment changes and demand.
