Background

• The carbon budget under the 2°C target will run out in the

coming twenty years, we actually have few choices but resorting to energy transitions from carbon-based energy to renewables.

• As the latest IRENA report states, wind and solar may dominate

the primary energy demand during the achievement of this goal.

• Wind power and PV solar energy markets skyrocket in recent

years, and the global cumulative installed capacity of PV solar has expanded from 6 GW in 2006 to 303 GW in 2016, annually growing by 148%,versus 121% for wind power.

• Many countries lead this trends, especially for China and India.

Motivations

• Diffusion and competitive substitution of key renewable energy

technologies substantially affect the dynamic evolution of energy structure, which in turn poses great effects on mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and tackling climate change. However the extant research is limited: —Analysis on diffusion of product innovation in social system has long

been the center of public and academic interest, very few attentions has been paid on energy technology, particularly for possible interactions —It’s of great value to relax the deterministic nature of the dynamic system models to inform the potential impacts of random disturbances on technology diffusion and external interactions

Missions

• First, based on population ecology theory, we dedicate to

develop a stochastic analytic framework of technology diffusion and interaction, i.e., the randomized Lotka-Volterra model by taking the impacts of disturbances into account.

• The second mission is to make a cross-country analysis on

wind power and PV solar’s long-term technology penetration patterns, as well as the possible dynamic interactions between these two technologies under random perturbations.

• Third, short-term forecasts are also provided based on the

proposed stochastic dynamic model framework.

Model framework

➣ The typical L-V model ² The proposed stochastic L-V model

Given initial value X(0)=(x1(0), x2(0))T (x1(0), x2(0)>0), X(t)=(x1(t), x2(t))T is the solution of Model (2); σi

2 (i=1,2) is white noise disturbance, Bi(t) (i=1,2) are

independent geometric Brownian motions.

q The deficit in China has accumulated to

more than 100 billion RMB by 2017, which yields remarkable adverse effects

• n wind technology, and that’s why

20%-30% of wind power has been abandoned in the wind areas. q The market positions of PV solar and wind power technology in the US and Sweden keep the same with those in China, i.e., PV solar perform as predator, versus prey for wind power technology.; q And the policy environment provide the possible explanations.

Concluding remarks

² We find both positive and negative scale effects for wind markets, while PV solar markets are consistently scale- restrictive for all the target countries. ² The current technology interactions are dominated by mutualism and prey-predator types, of which prey-predator relationships mainly exist in the US, China and Italy, with PV solar to be predator. ² Random technology orbits for both wind and PV solar oscillate around the deterministic equilibrium orbit, normally distributed, and the mean orbit of such large-scale random orbits converges to the analytic equilibrium orbit.
