Renewables require continued innovation efforts to reach the performance, reach and deployment in the SDS. More fundamentally, reaching high shares will require bridging innovation gaps in a host of integration technologies.
New designs and prototypes are also needed to expand the reach of renewables, including floating off-shore wind turbines, ocean power or enhanced geothermal systems.
Biomass technologies will require novel processes to reduce costs and tap into new feed-stocks. Good resource and performance assessments are also important to reduce financing costs. Wind energy technology is already proven and making progress, and while no single element is like to dramatically reduce costs, taken together improvements can ensure the cost trajectory is maintained.
In particular, innovation efforts are needed to aid in resource planning that minimises the impact of scaling up wind power capacity, and system-friendly integration of wind power through digital solutions and advanced power electronics.
Wind power generation creates well-known challenges for electricity grids and power systems through its variability and uncertainty and distributed nature. Wind power plants in many cases already contribute to their own integration through a range of upgrades, but their contribution will need to be ramped up in the SDS through a combination of regulation and grid codes and more innovative solutions for providing ancillary services and other services related to dispatchability.
