摘要

In the face of climate change and possible future energy shortages, the installed capacity of clean energy natural gas (NG) and renewable energy (RE) for power generation has gradually increased. However, in the traditional electricity market, there is significant competition between NG and RE as gas prices tend to be volatile, and RE power generation from wind and solar can be intermittent and somewhat unreliable, indicating that these power sources have some drawbacks if used to independently generate electricity; therefore, determining the balance of NG and RE to ensure are resilient, reliable, flexible and affordable power generation system is an important goal. Based on the data analysis system (DAS) combined with paradigm theory, this paper examines the possibility of hybrid power generation in the future. The results of literature analysis visualization show that NG or RE has its own power generation paradigm, and a paradigm shift towards hybrid NG-RE power generation was found, so NG-RE power generation paradigm (NGREP) was proposed. To determine whether these NG-RE hybrid energy developments could be more competitive than separate developments, a comparative analysis was conducted, from which it was found that hybrid NG-RE systems are more attractive in some cases. However, as there are still challenges in the developments of these systems, a driving force is needed to promote further hybrid developments. Using hybrid power generation in areas with plentiful wind, solar and gas can maximize energy use efficiency and significantly reduce carbon emissions and other pollutants.
