Layout planning of wind and solar complementary solar container communication stations in Malabo

4 FAQs about Layout planning of wind and solar complementary solar container communication stations in Malabo

How do we solve the power complementary process among hydro-wind-solar-storage systems?

In the short-term power balance module of the integrated model, the power complementary process among hydro-wind-solar-storage systems is solved through nonlinear programming (Fig. 1).

Do low points of wind and solar resource output coincide with water resources?

The low points of wind and solar resource output coincide with the peak abundant periods of water resources. This annual pattern of wind, solar, and water resources provides a favorable opportunity for complementary power generation. Fig. 3.

What are the constraints of pumped-storage station operation?

Note: The pumped-storage station operation must satisfy constraints of continuous energy storage or generation operation. During energy storage phases, its power output is represented by negative values (depicted as purple blocks) excluded from stacked histograms.

How can nonlinear programming optimization improve short-term hydropower output?

Through complementary operation, nonlinear programming optimization of short-term hydropower output successfully redistributed surplus energy from curtailment periods to shortage intervals while maintaining the same average hydropower output.
