Designing terawatt scale renewable electricity system: A dynamic analysis for India

Installing multi-terawatt capacities of renewable technologies, mainly wind and solar, could be a potential solution for reducing carbon emissions to reach a safe climate threshold. However, due to variabilities in solar and wind generation, energy storage will play an essential role in the decarbon...

We examined the implications of adding wind and solar on a terawatt-scale in India's electricity mix and estimated the storage (energy and power capacity) requirements by balancing hourly supply and demand for a 30-year-long-period starting from 2019 until 2048.
