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.

What is complementarity between wind and photovoltaic sources?

The work of analyzed the complementarity between wind and photovoltaic sources when applied to on-grid and isolated micro-networks. The relative fluctuation rate was used as an index to quantify the complementarity between these sources. This index quantifies the mismatch between the equivalent power generated and the demand curve.

How do we evaluate the complementarity of solar and wind energy systems?

The review of the techniques that have been used to evaluate the complementarity of solar and wind energy systems shows that traditional statistical methods are mostly applied to assess complementarity of the resources, such as correlation coefficient, variance, standard deviation, percentile ranking, and mean absolute error.

When do energy sources exhibit complementarity?

The energy sources exhibit complementarity when one energy source (e.g., solar) fulfills the energy demand during periods of low output from the other source (wind) or even the absence of generation from one of the sources .
