Accelerating energy transition towards renewables is central to net-zero emissions. However, building a global power system dominated by solar and wind energy presents immense challenges. Here, we demonstrate the potential of a globally interconnected solar-wind system to meet future electricity demands.
Theoretically, the potential of solar and wind resources on Earth vastly surpasses human demand 33, 34. In our pursuit of a globally interconnected solar-wind system, we have focused solely on the potentials that are exploitable, accessible, and interconnectable (see “Methods”).
'Interconnectability' refers to the requirement that any proposed power plant must be located no farther than 10 kilometers from the existing transmission lines. Notably, offshore wind energy exploitation is confined to the exclusive economic zone.
In our model, solar and wind generation are explicitly modeled with high-resolution temporal and spatial variations, whereas flexible units are collectively represented as a dispatchable reserve used to balance residual load fluctuations after solar and wind generation and trans-regional exchanges have been accounted for.
In the context of carbon neutrality, renewable energy, especially wind power, solar PV and hydropower, will become the most important power sources in the future low-carbon power system.
