Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the function of a transformer in a renewable energy system?
  • Step 1: Understand that renewable energy systems generate electricity, often at different voltage levels.
  • Step 2: Know that the electricity generated needs to be sent to the power grid for use by homes and businesses.
  • Step 3: Realize that the grid operates at a specific voltage level, which may be different from the voltage of the generated electricity.
  • Step 4: Learn that a transformer is a device that can change the voltage of electricity.
  • Step 5: Understand that the transformer increases or decreases the voltage of the generated electricity to match the grid's voltage level.
  • Step 6: Conclude that this matching of voltage levels allows the generated power to be effectively integrated into the grid.
