Optimization and improvement method for complementary power
With the increasing energy demand, distributed photovoltaic power generation and wind energy are used as new energy sources for sustainable development. To solve this problem, this
Couto and Estanqueiro have proposed a method to explore the complementarity of primary wind and solar resources and the demand for electricity in planning the expansion of electrical power systems.
The intermittent nature of wind and solar sources poses a complex challenge to grid operators in forecasting electrical energy production. Numerous studies have shown that the combination of sources with complementary characteristics could make a significant contribution to mitigating the variability of energy production over time.
Combined wind and solar generation results in smoother power supply in many places. Renewable energy has been used as an alternative solution to fossil fuels aiming to supply the increasing energy demand while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
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.
