Variation-based complementarity assessment between wind and solar
The complementarity between wind and solar resources is considered one of the factors that restrict the utilization of intermittent renewable power sources such as these, but
The complementarity of solar and wind energy systems is mostly evaluated using traditional statistical methods, such as correlation coefficient, variance, standard deviation, percentile ranking, and mean absolute error, to assess the complementarity of the resources in the review.
The LM-complementarity between wind and solar power is superior to that between wind or solar power generated in different regions. The hourly load demand can be effectively met by the LM-complementarity between wind and solar power.
Combined wind and solar power generation results in smoother power supply in many places, according to a review of state-of-the-art approaches in the literature survey. Solar and wind are free, renewable, and geographically spread sources of energy.
By calculating the Kendall rank correlation coefficient between wind and solar energy in China, the study mapped the spatial distribution of wind-solar energy complementarity. Han et al. proposed a complementary evaluation framework for wind-solar-hydro multi-energy systems based on multi-criteria assessment and K-means clustering algorithms.
The complementarity between wind and insolation, as measured by the Complementary Index of Wind and Solar Radiation (CIWS) in Oklahoma (USA), is on average 46 percent of the theoretical maximum CIWS value (Li et al., 2011 ).
The combination of solar and wind energy within a specific area can reduce the number of zero-power hours (also referred to as hours with zero generation). This was shown in the results. Zhang et al. (2018) also analyzed the complementarity between solar and wind energies in China using the following methods: variation coefficient, ramp rate, synergy coefficient, and profit coefficient.
