Abstract

There are five key areas that must be improved in order to expand VRE across the globe. Battery energy storage allows for the saving of excess energy and the releasing of it when needed. Improved spatial planning ensures optimal resource utilization and minimizes environmental impacts. Regional grid interconnection allows for greater sharing of resources, increased system resilience, and improved energy market dynamics. Accurate renewable energy forecasting is a necessary and cost-effective way to integrate VRE into power grids. Lastly, streamlined permitting expedites the approval and construction of renewable energy projects.
