How Hybrid PV Technologies Can Contribute to the Decarbonisation of Thailand's Power System
…thanks to high irradiance and high daily solar exposure. Solar PV is a low-cost source of clean electricity with high potential for decarbonising power systems. It is, however, a variable resource, as generation fluctuates with the weather.In systems with growing shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) sources, power system flexibility plays an increasing role, as can be seen in the IEA NZE Scenario, in which global electricity system flexibility quadruples by 2030.As flexibility needs can differ depending on the timescale, situation and share of VRE, the IEA has developed a framework of six phases to assist policy…
