Over January-March 2024 alone, China added another 45.74 GW of new solar capacity (up from 12.08 GW the previous year) and 15.5 GW of wind, according to the National Energy Administration (NEA) of China. This brings more confidence that the renewable capacity surge in 2023 will continue.
The solar surge is not just about the remarkable growth in China, as more gigawatt-scale solar markets are emerging and the vast potential of the sunniest countries is ready to be unleashed. Solar capacity additions surged 74% in 2023, reaching a record 346 GW annual additions.
There are several potential areas for future research in the field of combining storage systems and demand response strategies to mitigate the challenges of solar PV integration, including: Optimal sizing and placement of energy storage systems and demand response programs to maximize their benefits for the power system and end-users.
Growth in the US is mainly driven by significant additions of utility-scale solar capacity, which made up over 80% of additions in the first six months of 2024. Solar installations totalled 20 GW from January to June 2024, a 55% increase over the same period last year. This follows a 46% increase in installations in 2023 compared to 2022.
Therefore, integrating solar power and storage is becoming increasingly crucial for the future of the energy sector. This research reinforces the advantages of this collaboration. According to Fig. 5, the deployment of energy storage solutions for shorter durations is growing.
The energy storage industry is predicted to expand and accumulate a total capacity of 942 GW/2857 GWh by 2040, generating a massive $ 620 billion in investment in the next 22 years. This growth is fueled by cost-effective battery technology, allowing wind and solar power to operate without wind and sunlight. .
