Wind power was once again the most important source of electricity in 2023, contributing 139.8 terawatt hours (TWh) or 32% to public net electricity generation. This was 14.1% higher than the previous year''s production. The share of onshore wind power rose to 115.3 TWh (2022: 99 TWh), while offshore production fell slightly to 23.5 TW (2022: 24.75 TWh).
The energy storage system can relieve the mismatch between PV generation and electricity load and raise the PV self-consumption ratio (SCR). In particular, the battery energy storage system (BESS) can directly store electrical energy and achieve peak shifting and price arbitrage when the battery is connected to the grid [[4], [5], [6]].
Electric vehicles (EVs) play a major role in the energy system because they are clean and environmentally friendly and can use excess electricity from renewable sources.
