Which is more complementary between wind and solar power in coastal solar container communication stations

Do primary wind and solar resources complement the demand for electricity?

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.

Can a combination of wind and solar energy sources reduce energy production?

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.

What are the constraints of a pure wind or solar plant?

Constraints (9) and (10) allow pure wind or solar plants to be solutions varying from zero to the nominal HPU Power. Constraints (11) and (12) consider that the power produced by each source at a given moment must be equal to or higher than zero and less than the total installed capacity.

Is solar energy more complementary in the winter compared to other seasons?

For an hourly time series frequency, the correlation seems to be smallest in the winter, suggesting that waves are generated less locally, compared to the other seasons. PV is statistically weak to moderately complementary in all seasons to both wind- and wave energy.
