North Asia Wind Solar and Storage Topology

What is China's offshore wind-solar generation potential?

Our results reveal that China's offshore wind-solar generation potential amounts to ∼15.7 × 103 TWh/year, half of which is accessible at a cost of less than €86/MWh.

Can China's offshore wind-solar farm meet 100% of coastal demand?

A framework for potential assessment and spatial layout optimization is proposed. China's offshore wind-solar has the possibility of meeting 100% of coastal demand. Optimized spatial layout tends to disperse wind-solar farms in areas far offshore. Offshore generation meets up to 91% of coastal load under a 5% curtailment constraint.

Does Yunnan have a new energy storage development plan?

Yunnan’s “14th Five-Year Plan” has explicitly proposed new energy storage development goals and introduced the “Yunnan Province New Energy Storage Development Implementation Plan (2024–2025),” encouraging multi-energy collaboration and large-scale demonstration projects of energy storage.

What is a capacity optimization model for a wind–solar–hydro–storage multi-energy complementary system?

This paper develops a capacity optimization model for a wind–solar–hydro–storage multi-energy complementary system. The objectives are to improve net system income, reduce wind and solar curtailment, and mitigate intraday fluctuations.
