Peru is making strides in renewable energy (RE) by integrating wind and solar power into its grid, aiming to reach 20% RE by 2030. As part of Peru’s preparations for a greater share of variable renewable energy (vRE) in the electricity mix, the Peruvian power system operator COES partnered with GET.transform to review and enhance existing tools and capacities to maintain a safe and reliable system operation.
COES is now transitioning to centralised vRE power forecasting for more accurate operational predictions and efficient dispatching. In parallel, COES is developing an advanced vRE integration methodology to model future scenarios and address challenges like grid stability and transmission congestion.
Another study from the collaboration provides recommendations for refining Peru’s requirements for wind and solar power plants connected to the national transmission system, particularly around frequency response and voltage ride-through capabilities.
Together, these findings form a holistic strategy, equipping Peru to successfully transition towards more sustainable and resilient energy future. Dive into the individual outputs below to learn more.
