Is there a mutual complementarity between wind and solar energy?

Moreover, in 2018, Zhang et al. proposed a model to estimate the spatial and temporal complementarities of wind-solar energy. It adopted the ramp rate to evaluate the variability concisely, and used the synergy coefficient to express the mutual complementarity between wind and solar energy.

Are wind-solar complementarities necessary for a hybrid energy system?

The inherent complementarity of wind and solar energy resources is beneficial to smooth aggregate power and reduce ramp reserve capacity. This article proposes a progressive approach to assess the wind-solar complementarities in Shandong province, China for the preliminary planning of hybrid energy systems.

How do we evaluate the complementarity of solar and wind energy systems?

The complementarity of solar and wind energy systems is mostly evaluated using traditional statistical methods, such as correlation coefficient, variance, standard deviation, percentile ranking, and mean absolute error, to assess the complementarity of the resources in the review.

Are solar and wind resources complementary?

Half-hourly power production was assessed based on resource location, plant size, hourly load, inter-annual variability, and solar array design for all sites. We found thatsolar and wind resources exhibit complementary peaks in production on an annual and daily level and that West and South Texas wind resources also exhibit complementarity.

Does energy storage affect complementarity?

The results suggest that energy storage also affects complementarity. For example, the comparison between Fig. 5 a and Fig. 5 d shows that energy storage, represented through the consideration of the moving averages, enlarges the corresponding complementary or synchronous behavior of the two VRES time series.
