Analysis of the reasons why wind-solar complementary solar
The wind-solar-diesel hybrid power supply system of the communication base station is composed of a wind turbine, a solar cell module, an integrated controller for hybrid
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.
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 .
The review of the techniques that have been used to evaluate the complementarity of solar and wind energy systems shows that traditional statistical methods are mostly applied to assess complementarity of the resources, such as correlation coefficient, variance, standard deviation, percentile ranking, and mean absolute error.
Couto and Estanqueiro have proposed a method to explore the complementarity of primary wind and solar resources and the demand for electricity in planning the expansion of electrical power systems.
