Energy of wind and solar complementary to communication
China has made considerable efforts with respect to hydro- wind-solar complementary development. It has abundant resources of hydropower, wind power, and solar power and
This study provided the first spatially comprehensive analysis of solar and Wind energy Complementarity on a global scale. In addition, it showed which regions of the world have a greater degree of Complementarity between Wind and solar energy to reduce energy storage requirements.
Studying the complementarity between wind and solar energy is crucial for optimizing the use of these renewable resources. Multi-energy compensation systems need to consider multiple metrics, and current research relies on the correlation of single metrics to study this complementarity.
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 .
In the case of wind-solar hybrid systems, it was found that Complementarity can be enhanced through the dispersion of wind farms but not for solar energy. However, when considering wind farms, the feasibility must consider the requirement for long-distance transmission lines in this scenario.
