4 FAQs about Leaked solar telecom integrated cabinet wind and solar complementarity

Can combined wind and solar power improve grid integration?

The combined use of wind and solar power is crucial for large-scale grid integration. Review of state-of-the-art approaches in the literature survey covers 41 papers. The paper proposes an ideal complementarity analysis of wind and solar sources. Combined wind and solar generation results in smoother power supply in many places.

Is complementarity between wind and solar power overestimated?

Further analysis reveals that the complementarity between wind and solar power would be overestimated once the fluctuation amplitude is ignored. Additionally, the proposed complementarity index can be used to optimize the installed capacity ratio of wind and solar power in a hybrid system.

Can the complementarity index CI be used to assess solar power?

In the study, only the temporal complementarity between wind and solar power in the same site is investigated. It is believed that the proposed complementarity index CI can be also used to accurately assess the spatial complementarity of renewable power generation between different regions.

Can a solar-wind system meet future energy demands?

Accelerating energy transition towards renewables is central to net-zero emissions. However, building a global power system dominated by solar and wind energy presents immense challenges. Here, we demonstrate the potential of a globally interconnected solar-wind system to meet future electricity demands.
