4 FAQs about What are the functions of wind-solar complementary equipment in solar container communication stations

Where do wind energy resources complement solar energy?

For example, according to Nascimento et al., wind resources complement solar energy by 40 %–50 % in the Brazilian Northeast along the coastline, reaching up to 60 % in Rio Grande do Norte state. Concerning other regions, the complementarity levels reach 40 % in the South, Southeast, and the remainder of the Northeast .

What percentage of solar energy is complemented by wind?

The level of complementarity may vary according to the region and the time of year. For example, according to Nascimento et al., wind resources complement solar energy by 40 %–50 % in the Brazilian Northeast along the coastline, reaching up to 60 % in Rio Grande do Norte state.

How does temporal complementarity affect a power system?

According to Jurasz et al. and Santos et al., the temporal complementarity between VREs results in a combined power with less variability and intermittency, reducing the demand for storage and smoothing the operation of power systems.

Why do we need a small number of solar clusters?

This fact is in line with the need to represent reality since, during the night, there is no solar radiance and, therefore, it is reasonable that a small number of clusters be sufficient to simultaneously represent renewable sources once during that period of the day, the joint variability of the data is also reduced.
