To achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals and improve energy efficiency, new energy plays a major role in China strategic deployment. However, as centralized photovoltaic is located in desert areas, photovoltaic power transmission has become a bottleneck problem. Battery transportation technology provides new possibilities for the existing problems of desert electric energy transmission. Firstly, from the perspective of desert centralized photovoltaic transmission mode, this paper focused on the actual operation of the existing desert photovoltaic transmission and analysed the working principle of battery transportation technology. Then, the differences such as investment cost, transmission capacity, and ability to cope with desert climate were compared between traditional desert photovoltaic transmission and battery transportation technology. Finally, the advantages of battery transportation technology, such as low construction cost and strong ability to deal with desert climate were summarized and the limitations were also discussed.
