Hebei photovoltaic energy storage requirements

How much power does Hebei need on Heatwave days?

Power load grows by 3.22 GW on heatwave days in southern Hebei over 2031–2040. Wind and solar generation profiles are complementary on heatwave days. Rising wind/solar power on heatwave days can meet the growing load demand post-2039. 9 GWh of energy storage capacity is required in the morning on heatwave days.

Is Hebei a good place to store energy?

Hebei Province has also developed compressed air energy storage projects, which can serve as alternative storage solutions (Zheng et al., 2022). Additionally, due to China's extensive east-west span, there is a 2–3 h time lag between Hebei Province and the westernmost region of Xinjiang.

Can southern Hebei meet the increased electricity load during HW days?

This study finds that southern Hebei can meet the increased electricity load during HW days through the increased output of wind and solar energy between 2035 and 2040. Therefore, southern Hebei is a suitable region for pioneering pilots that utilize wind and solar energy to address peak loads during HW conditions.

Why is Hebei a good place to invest in wind and solar energy?

Consequently, Hebei prioritizes the development of wind and solar energy. In 2021, Hebei has the highest combined wind and solar installed capacity (25.46 GW and 29.21 GW) and the second highest combined wind and solar electricity generation (51.1 TWh and 27.9 TWh) among Chinese provinces (China Electricity Council, 2022).

Can southern Hebei rely on wind and solar energy?

The results show that, starting from 2039, southern Hebei can rely on wind and solar energy to meet 100% of the increased electricity demand on HW days.

How much power will Hebei have in 2040?

As a result, the wind power installation capacity in southern Hebei is projected to be 13.03 GW in 2030 and 25.11 GW in 2040, while PV installation capacity is expected to be 67.44 GW in 2030 and 98.39 GW in 2040. Fig. 7.
