Can southern Hebei meet the increased electricity load during HW days?

This study finds that southern Hebei can meet the increased electricity load during HW days through the increased output of wind and solar energy between 2035 and 2040. Therefore, southern Hebei is a suitable region for pioneering pilots that utilize wind and solar energy to address peak loads during HW conditions.

Why is Hebei a good place to invest in wind and solar energy?

Consequently, Hebei prioritizes the development of wind and solar energy. In 2021, Hebei has the highest combined wind and solar installed capacity (25.46 GW and 29.21 GW) and the second highest combined wind and solar electricity generation (51.1 TWh and 27.9 TWh) among Chinese provinces (China Electricity Council, 2022).

Can an equivalent circuit simulate PV generation in southern Hebei?

These results indicate that the equivalent circuit provides an effective simulation of theoretical PV generation in southern Hebei and could be used to further simulate actual PV generation. Photovoltaic systems are influenced by various environmental factors, leading to deviations between actual and theoretical output.

Can southern Hebei rely on wind and solar energy?

The results show that, starting from 2039, southern Hebei can rely on wind and solar energy to meet 100% of the increased electricity demand on HW days.

What is the electrical system in Hebei?

The electrical system in Hebei comprises northern and southern grids, with the latter encompassing six prefecture-level cities: Shijiazhuang, Handan, Xingtai, Baoding, Cangzhou, and Hengshui (Fig. 1 b and c).

How much power will Hebei have in 2040?

As a result, the wind power installation capacity in southern Hebei is projected to be 13.03 GW in 2030 and 25.11 GW in 2040, while PV installation capacity is expected to be 67.44 GW in 2030 and 98.39 GW in 2040. Fig. 7.
