 The Integration of Non-dispatchable RenewablesMarco Baroni ()
Chapter Chapter 16 in The Palgrave Handbook of International Energy Economics, 2022, pp 269-299 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Most governments around the world have put in place policies to support the deployment of wind and solar technologies, as they are going to play a key role in the decarbonisation of energy systems and to achieve United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. At low levels of deployment, these technologies typically do not raise significant issues, but to reach high shares of power generation, integration measures will be needed. These include enabling the maximum use of flexibility from existing and new plants, changing the way transmission and distribution grids are operated and expanded, increasing the deployment and availability of storage and demand-side mechanisms. Adequate policies are needed to enable the deployment of these measures while minimising the overall power systems costs, ultimately ensuring their affordability.
