Potential Solar, Wind, and Battery Storage Deployment for Decarbonization in ASEAN

Achieving carbon neutrality will require multiple approaches to decarbonizing greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors. Accordingly, this study investigates the maximum contributions of solar and wind deployments together with energy storage potentials with the objective of changing such deployments from intermittent supply to more stable load by employing energy storage systems. To this end, we use data generated by a linear programming model to minimize total system under such constraints as CO2 emissions and supply–demand balance, in order to assess the aforementioned maximum contributions in ASEAN’s decarbonization scenario. Our findings provide policymakers a second opinion on how to scale up solar and wind with battery storage to contribute to future significant ASEAN decarbonization.
