READ MOREThe extent to which clean and renewable energy integration can be achieved has been a subject of debate, particularly as it relates to whether 100% renewable energy penetration can be achieved or
READ MOREThe model results demonstrate that a 50% renewable energy target may increase the system costs – mostly through an increase in capital costs of cleaner technologies – by three to four times. The analysis also shows that the complementarity of solar photovoltaic and wind and their locations in the power system are important factors
READ MORERenewable energy sources accounted for 9% of Australian energy consumption in 2021-22. Renewable electricity generation has more than doubled over the last decade, but
READ MORERenewable energy technologies are expected to take the leading role in the forthcoming energy generation portfolio in order to achieve sustainable energy generation. The major constraints for increasing penetration of renewable energy sources is their availability and intermittency, which can be addressed through energy storage when
READ MOREThe latest analysis is the first comprehensive assessment of global renewable energy deployment trends since the conclusion of the COP28 conference in Dubai in December. The report shows that under existing policies and market conditions, global renewable power capacity is now expected to grow to 7 300 GW over the 2023-28 period covered by
READ MOREThe figure shows Australian electricity generation from renewable sources in gigawatt hours from 1997-98 to 2021-22. Generation from renewables has
READ MOREAttribution 2.0 Generic. The Australian Labor party has unveiled a new emissions policy, under which it aims to boost to 82% the renewables share of National Electricity Market (NEM) generation, up from 68% under current government projections. The plan, entitled Powering Australia, seeks to drive total investment of about AUD 76
READ MORELevelized system costs decreases considerably with increased penetration of renewables. • Cost-optimal systems occur in range of 40–80% renewable penetration. • Renewable penetration of 60–90% achieved at no additional cost from current prices. • Batteries
READ MOREThese issues have resulted in the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) intervening more than 250 times in the last year to either turn off grid-destabilising renewable generation or turn on gas-fired peak demand plants. The frequency of
READ MOREResults show that the proposed framework can effectively quantify the overall microgrid performance concerning renewable penetration, reliability, and economics. Proper renewable energy penetration (about 60%) can achieve a good economic performance
READ MOREAustralia has joined more than 100 other countries across the globe in committing to a tripling of renewable energy capacity by the end of the decade in another coup for the organisers of this
READ MOREOver the last decade, the fraction of annual U.S. electricity generation for renewable energy has doubled from 10 % to 20 %. This growth has been driven by several factors, including technology cost reductions and policy support. The share of renewable generation
READ MOREIn energy-only electricity markets, such as Australia''s National Electricity Market (NEM), it has been argued that an increasing penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE) generation is likely to have two effects: (i) more extreme spot prices, with greater instances of both very high and very lo
