Can storage support 100% renewable electricity futures in Southeast Asia?

This study is the first to explore the benefits of utilising STORES as a primary storage medium to support 100% renewable electricity futures in Southeast Asia. STORES can facilitate high penetration of variable solar and wind energy in electricity systems through energy time shifting and load levelling.

Is wind energy a viable alternative to solar energy in Southeast Asia?

Consequently, the integration of wind energy can substantially reduce the reliance on energy storage to stabilise the electricity systems when solar energy is not sufficient. However, compared with solar energy, the seasonal variability in wind energy in Southeast Asia is large.

Does short-term off-River energy storage support 100% renewable electricity in Southeast Asia?

Rapid increases in electricity consumption in Southeast Asia caused by rising living standards and population raise concerns about energy security, affordability and environmental sustainability. In this study, the role of short-term off-river energy storage (STORES) in supporting 100% renewable electricity in Southeast Asia is investigated.

What if the energy mix stays unchanged in Southeast Asia?

By contrast, if the current energy mix stays unchanged, the coal and natural gas will heavily rely on imports to cope with the rapidly growing demand for electricity in Southeast Asia, which raises significant concerns about energy security and independence. 3.3. Energy storage requirements
