风能和太阳能发电将促进澳大利亚能源转型

据全球能源新闻10月30日消息称，根据GlobalData的最新报告《到2030年澳大利亚电力市场展望》，可再生能源和分布式能源的增长改变了澳大利亚电力系统的市场动态。

为了满足国家不断增长的电力需求，并提供不间断的电力供应，利益相关者更喜欢电池支持的风能和太阳能发电厂。2018年，可再生能源在该国电力结构中的比重达到21.5%，预计到2030年将超过火电，占总容量的55.7%。

GlobalData的最新报告详细说明，在2018年，澳大利亚的电力结构中，火力发电占主导地位，整体份额为67%，煤炭占最大份额36%。太阳能光伏在非水电可再生能源中占比最大，为12.7%，其次是风能和生物能源，分别为7.1%和1.6%。同年，水力发电占11.6%。

可再生能源设备成本的下降，以及为减少污染而出台的强有力的政策，促使政策制定者更加关注可再生能源。政府设定了到2030年20%的可再生能源目标，该目标所附带的激励措施将推动大量投资。

此外，澳大利亚清洁能源潜力巨大，预计到2030年，该国43.5%的电力将来自可再生能源。国家能源保障(NEG)是减少排放和确保可调度能源供应可靠性的另一个有希望的机会。

Wind and solar with battery storage to ease energy transition in Australia, says GlobalData

According to GlobalData’s latest report, ‘Australia Power Market Outlook to 2030’ the growth of variable renewable energy and distributed energy resources has changed the market dynamics of the electricity system in Australia.

To meet the increasing demand for power in the country and have an uninterrupted power supply, stakeholders prefer battery-backed wind and solar farms. The share of renewable energy in the country had reached 21.5% of the country’s power mix in 2018 and is expected to surpass thermal power by 2030 contributing 55.7% of the capacity mix.

GlobalData’s latest report details that, in 2018, thermal power dominated Australia’s power mix, with an overall share of 67%, with coal holding the maximum share of 36%. Solar PV contributes the maximum among the non-hydro renewable energy sources, with a share of 12.7%, followed by wind and bio power, with a share of 7.1% and 1.6% respectively. Hydro power also holds a share of 11.6% in the same year.

The falling cost of renewable energy installations and introduction of strong policies to cut down pollution have led policy makers to focus more on renewable energy. The government has set a 20% renewable energy target by 2030 and the incentives attached to the target will drive significant investments.

In addition, Australia has a high potential of clean energy sources and the country is expected to generate 43.5% of the electricity from renewable energy by 2030. National Energy Guarantee (NEG) is another promising opportunity to reduce emissions and ensure reliability in dispatchable energy supply.
