Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.1.2 Photovoltaics in the Electricity Network

Course subject(s) Module 2. Introduction to Photovoltaic (PV) Systems

We are facing a paradigm shift on how energy is delivered from a power plant to the loads. Large traditional power plants are replaced by small renewable power generation units. In this first video we will take a look at the current electricity network and you will learn how this network is upset by the renewable energy transition.
