Wind power and solar power generation hit a record high at noon yesterday, and the penetration rate of green energy reached 23.5%, which means that for every five kilowatt hours of electricity, one kilowatt hour of electricity comes from wind power or solar photovoltaics.

[Reporter Lin Jinghua/Taipei Report] Green energy is "beautiful"!

Taipower observed that the wind power and solar power generation reached 610 at noon yesterday.

80,000 kw, a record high, and the current green energy penetration rate has reached 23.

Five percent, equivalent to every five degrees of electricity, one degree of electricity comes from wind power or solar photovoltaics.

Wind, solar generation hit record highs

With the increase in domestic solar photovoltaic grid-connected capacity, offshore wind farms have also been commercialized and put into use. According to Taipower statistics, the domestic photovoltaic and wind power installation capacity has exceeded 10 million kilowatts. Yesterday at 12:30 noon, solar photovoltaic power generation The amount came to May 14th.

Fifty thousand kilowatts, and wind power is also ninety-six.

30,000 kw, the permeability is about 23.

Fives%.

Taipower spokesman Wu Jinzhong explained that the penetration rate is similar to the concept of product market share. Last year, the penetration rate of green energy was only 17%. It is a rare record in winter, and in the past, there was mostly wind but no light, and there was light but no wind. In summer, there are more photovoltaics, and in winter, there are more wind power.

Load reduction of thermal power units can improve air quality in autumn and winter

Wu Jinzhong also said that because green energy continues to be connected to the grid, it is expected that the penetration rate will reach 30% by May next year; and the increase in green energy penetration rate can reduce the load of thermal power units and improve the air quality in autumn and winter.

Taipower currently prioritizes dispatching green energy, and coal-fired power will increase load reduction in autumn and winter. At noon yesterday, coal-fired, gas-fired and other thermal power generation decreased by a total of 2.74 million kilowatts.

The outside world is worried that a large amount of green energy will be connected to the grid, which will be unstable to the power system.

Wu Jinzhong said that due to the abundance of wind power and photovoltaic power at noon, Taipower also uses this time period to use pumped-storage hydropower units to "pump water storage" to support electricity demand when photovoltaic power disappears in the evening or peak hours at night. Taipower also observes that wind power in winter is almost maintained. At about 700,000 watts, the night peak power supply can maintain a backup capacity rate of more than 10%, and the power supply keeps the green light.

Taipower stated that renewable energy has grown significantly in recent years. As of the end of October this year, the capacity of wind power generation installations across the country reached 140.

20,000 kw, an increase of more than double that of 2016; the capacity of solar photovoltaic power generation installations in the country reached 915.

70,000, an increase of more than seven times.
