Are solar power shortages a problem?The use of solar power is growing rapidly, especially in developing regions in the tropics, as countries work toward meeting carbon neutrality goals. But according to new research, solar power use is also accompanied by solar power shortages, or “droughts,” when demand exceeds supply for at least 3 days.
Do high-proportion wind and solar energy systems have a power shortage?Consequently, examining the historical evolution of potential power shortage events in high-proportion wind and solar energy systems globally holds paramount importance. This endeavor facilitates a deeper understanding of the extreme security risks confronting power systems in the future and fosters the stable transition of power systems.
Why is solar power a problem?More communities are relying on solar power as a source of renewable energy, but increasing demand and climate change threaten its reliability. Solar power droughts can be driven by weather extremes such as clouds, rain, and extreme heat, as well as light-blocking pollution and periods of extremely high demand.
Does low wind speed cause extreme power shortages?The research finds that the increase of extremely low wind speed and solar radiation may have promoted the increase of extreme power shortage events. Since 1980, extremely low wind speed and solar radiation events have been increasing, positively correlated with extreme power shortage events.
Could a drought lead to a power shortage?In addition to an overall lack of power, droughts could specifically limit the amount of hydropower available to smooth out irregular wind and solar generation. This could also lead to power shortages.
Are extreme power shortage events correlated with climatological variables?Since 1980, extremely low wind speed and solar radiation events have been increasing, positively correlated with extreme power shortage events. However, there are large disproportionalities between changes in extreme power shortage events and climatological variabl
