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

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.

Is there a complementarity between wind and solar resources?

To assess the complementarity between wind and solar resources, the observed daily wind speed (at 10 m) and sunshine duration data for 56 years (1961–2016) from 726 national meteorological stations are collected, and the corresponding solar radiation is calculated according to Eq. (1).

Where is the complementarity of wind and solar resources in China?

It can be seen from the spatial distribution that wind and solar resource complementarity is relatively high in northwest, northeast, and central China, while the complementarity in the southwest and southern areas of China is relatively low.
