[PDF] Joint Planning of Transmission and Distribution Network
This paper aims to study the joint planning method of power transmission and distribution network considering the complementary characteristics of wind-solar time and space.
Wind-solar complementarity strongly depends on temporal scale. The anticipated greater penetration of the variable renewable energies wind and solar in the future energy mix could be facilitated by exploiting their complementarity, thereby improving the balance between energy supply and demand.
However, improvements in the exploitation of wind-solar complementarity must be accompanied by a massive improvement in the provision and use of energy storage systems. It is understood that different kinds of storage devices mitigate periods of low wind-solar availability .
Conclusions The newly developed small-scale analysis shows that wind-solar complementarity in Germany is highly dependent on the timescale considered. The proposed approach enables a detailed differentiation of scales on which the complementary use of wind and solar is possible.
The proposed approach enables a detailed differentiation of scales on which the complementary use of wind and solar is possible. The highest potential for complementarity within and between the analyzed regions was quantified at the seasonal scale.
