Assessing the complementarity of future hybrid wind and solar
A multi-model ensemble of 10 global climate models from the CMIP6 project was used to analyze the complementarity between wind and solar photovoltaic power in North
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.
The paper offers a global analysis of complementarity between wind and solar energy. Complementarity is examined regarding PV panel inclination and storage capacity. The concept of renewable energy sources complementarity has attracted the attention of researchers across the globe over recent years.
A further problem reducing the spatial coverage of studies, is a lack of uniform method applied in available studies. Therefore, this work contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a first spatially comprehensive analysis of solar and wind energy complementarity on a global scale.
Analyzing the complementarity of wind and solar energies requires the collection of multidisciplinary information, in which the primary criterion for deliberating the implementation of hybrid systems is related to mapping the weather conditions of a given location.
