UHV power transmission refers to the power transmission technology with voltage levels of AC 1000 kV and above, and DC ± 800 kV and above.
The adoption of the UHV power transmission technology not only can effectively solve the rapid growth of China’s growing demand for electricity, but also makes the long-distance and high-capacity power transmission become more economic. China’s existing UHVAC and UHVDC power transmission projects are all developed under this background.
Fig. 1 displays the details of China's UHV power transmission lines as of 2022. Notably, the Changji-Guquan ±1100 kV DC transmission line, which spans approximately 3293 km, has the longest transmission distance. This line enables the transfer of coal and wind-generated power from Xinjiang to the East China power grid.
Our results indicate that UHV transmission projects play a crucial role in speeding up power transmission of large-scale clean energy bases and realizing the cross-regional allocation of power resources. This study conducts mechanism analysis from two perspectives: energy production and consumption.
By the end of 2023, China has completed 19 ultra-high voltage alternating current (UHVAC) and 20 ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) projects, totaling 39 UHV projects. The total investment in the project exceeded 600 billion yuan. The length of UHV project lines under operation exceeded 60,000 kilometers.
Plus there are one more UHVAC and three more UHVDC transmission projects in construction, while UHVAC gas-insulated lines will be applied in the UHVAC line crossover the Yangtze River and the ±1100 kV UHVDC power transmission technology is in development.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
