# A Review of Distribution Grid Consumption Strategies Containing Distributed Photovoltaics
## 4 Conclusions  
This study reviewed distribution grid consumption strategies containing distributed PV, aiming to provide a comprehensive perspective to understand and address the distribution grid operational challenges that arise with the increased penetration of distributed PV. Through a comprehensive analysis and discussion of the existing literature, this paper draws the following conclusions:  
1. The incorporation of distributed PV brings significant changes to the distribution grid, including shifts in energy generation patterns, increased complexity in grid operations, and challenges to traditional power system planning and operations management. 2. Effective consumption strategies require comprehensive consideration of technical, economic, policy, and social factors. Optimizing the access mode of distributed PV, improving the regulation capability of the distribution grid, adopting advanced control strategies, formulating reasonable policies and incentive mechanisms, and strengthening technical research and development and personnel training are the keys to achieving effective consumption. 3. Grid-connected power grids and energy storage systems are currently the main means of consumption. Grid connection can instantly consume a large amount of electricity, but it is necessary to solve the technical problems of grid access and the volatility of grid load. Energy storage systems can improve energy utilization but face cost, lifetime, and maintenance challenges. 4. Future development trends indicate that, with advances in materials science and electronics technology, photovoltaic power generation technology will develop in the direction of high efficiency, low cost and long life. The development of smart grid and microgrid technologies will provide more possibilities for the consumption of PV power. 5. In order to realize the sustainable development of distributed PV, it is necessary to adopt a comprehensive strategy of consumption and customized design in combination with region-specific environmental, economic, and social conditions.
