The combination of photovoltaic (PV) wind power and energy storage can effectively address the instability of renewable energy sources. While PV and wind power generation is highly affected by weather and time of day, energy storage systems can balance supply and demand by storing power when there is excess generation and releasing it when there is peak demand. This flexibility makes the combination of PV wind and storage an ideal power supply solution.
The report mentions that the economics of PV wind + storage have been shown in regions with more than 2,500 hours of utilization. This means that in these regions, the use of this type of power supply can not only meet power demand, but also reduce operating costs. For example, in the Middle East, the cost of electricity from PV storage systems is significantly lower than that of utility power, providing a more competitive option for data center operations.
In the domestic market, the combination of photovoltaic wind power and energy storage is also feasible and economical if the requirements for power supply ratio and payback period can be relaxed. This provides new development opportunities for domestic data centers. With the gradual liberalization of the policy, more enterprises may consider adopting this renewable energy power supply method, thus realizing green transformation.
The report also mentions the resilient ordering of the industry chain, with energy storage systems, storage PCS (power conversion systems) and PV modules (or PV inverters) being the key links. This means that in the process of promoting the combination of PV wind power and energy storage, all links in the relevant industry chain need to be synergized. Only in this way can we ensure the efficient operation of the entire system.
What we need to think about is how to find a balance between policy, technology and market in order to promote the wide application of PV wind power and energy storage. Only through multi-party cooperation can we achieve the full promotion of renewable energy and provide strong support for the sustainable development of data centers.
The combination of PV wind power and energy storage provides a feasible and economical power supply solution for data centers. In the future, with the advancement of technology and policy support, this model is expected to be promoted globally.
