Evaluation of investment efficiency in solar power plants using smart grids

Abstract

This article reviews solar power plants development and their integration in the current electricity grid problem. The main purpose of the article is to research and evaluate investment efficiency in solar energy projects in smart grids. Smart grid concept and solar energy potential using it is investigated. You can find project investment efficiency and risk evaluation methods, which are most suitable for renewable energy projects. Project efficiency and financial ratios are calculated using money flows, which are created investing in solar power plant. While evaluating the efficiency stakeholders are being taken into account and the value they get. Current solar energy projects potential along with their integration and money flows in smart grids is examined. At the end of the article money flows, financial ratios and stakeholders values are evaluated.
