Solar Farm Grid boost at night! How do they do that?

As national grids around the world adopt and adapt to an increasingly higher proportion of renewable energy in their systems, challenges and opportunities are presenting themselves in almost equal measure. Balancing grid voltage using solar farms during the night time, when there is no sunlight, is unlikely to have been one the benefits that many people might have predicted, but that is exactly what a new trial in the South of England achieved recently. This week we take a look at how this seemingly impossible feat was achieved.
