Research and Application of Wind-Solar
The wind-solar complementary power supply system uses batteries as energy storage components and employs the complementary
Han et al. have proposed a complementarity evaluation method for wind, solar, and hydropower by examining independent and combined power generation fluctuation. Hydropower is the primary source, while wind and solar participation are changed in each scenario to improve power system operation.
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.
The intermittent nature of wind and solar sources poses a complex challenge to grid operators in forecasting electrical energy production. Numerous studies have shown that the combination of sources with complementary characteristics could make a significant contribution to mitigating the variability of energy production over time.
Combined wind and solar generation results in smoother power supply in many places. Renewable energy has been used as an alternative solution to fossil fuels aiming to supply the increasing energy demand while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
