Evaluation of the value of wind and solar complementary power in solar container communication stations

Are wind and PV power complementary?

A multi-energy complementarity evaluation index system based on the description of fluctuation characteristics is used to evaluate the complementarity of wind and PV power. The results show that wind and PV power are complementary to each other in different time scales, that is, their superposition can reduce their own volatility.

Is there a complementarity evaluation method for wind power?

However, less attention has been paid to quantify the level of complementarity of wind power, photovoltaic and hydropower. Therefore, this paper proposes a complementarity evaluation method for wind power, photovoltaic and hydropower by thoroughly examining the fluctuation of the independent and combined power generation.

Do wind and solar resources have a complementarity metric system?

To this end, we propose a novel variation-based complementarity metrics system based on the description of series’ fluctuation characteristics from quantitative and contoured dimensions. From this, the complementarity between wind and solar resources in China is assessed, and the trend and persistence are tested.

What is the spatial distribution of wind and solar resources in China?

Therefore, the spatial distribution of wind and solar resources in China is basically consistent with their complementarity, which is beneficial to the development of wind and solar power and the construction of the new power system.
