Assessing the potential and complementary characteristics of
Using meteorological data from 17 Global Climate Models (GCMs) in the Sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) under different emission scenarios (SSP1
Miglietta et al. (2017) estimated the complementarity between PV and wind power in the whole Europe by using PCC. PCC reflects the complementarity of RESs to a certain extent, but it can only reflect the linear correlation between two random variables (Bertsekas and Tsitsiklis 2008).
Literature (Cuiping et al., 2017) evaluated the operating characteristics of the photovoltaic-hydropower complementary system based on indicators such as the abandoned light ratio, the ratio of thermal power to load, and grid-connected revenue.
That said, the complementary use of wind and solar resources combined, also known as hybrid systems, is attractive. Hybrid systems are complementary even when availability values are not entirely complementary, called imperfect complementarity .
These results show that the complementarity between wind power and PV power is the weakest among the complementarity of three energy combinations, and their power output variation processes show a certain consistency.
