The decline in costs for solar power and storage systems offers opportunity for solar-plus-storage systems to serve as a cost-competitive source for the future energy system in China. The transportation, building, and industry sectors account, respectively, for 15.3, 18.3, and 66.3% of final energy consumption in China (5).
In this study, we developed an integrated technical, economic, and grid-compatible solar resource assessment model to analyze the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of the cost competitiveness of utility-scale solar power and its viable grid penetration potential in China from 2020 to 2060.
Furthermore, the sustained growth in the demand for utility-scale Energy Storage Systems (ESS), driven by challenges in the consumption of wind and solar energy, is noteworthy. TrendForce predicts that China's new utility-scale installations could reach 24.8 gigawatts and 55 gigawatt-hours in 2024.
In this case, the cost advantage of solar PV could be further amplified. The decline in costs for solar power and storage systems offers opportunity for solar-plus-storage systems to serve as a cost-competitive source for the future energy system in China.
Clearly, the predominant types of energy storage installations in China at present are still mandated installations for renewable energy and standalone energy storage. The primary driver behind the surge in domestic energy storage installations is the mandatory installation requirements.
