The complementarity between wind and solar power generation is defined by the synergistic capacity of both sources to enhance electricity outputs and augment their reliability . Several indices have been introduced to assess the complementarity of wind and solar power generation across diverse temporal scales.
Furthermore, the complementarity of theoretical wind and solar power outputs was examined over three temporal scales—annual, monthly, and hourly—employing methodologies such as rank correlation coefficients, crossover frequency analysis, and standard deviation complementarity rates. The primary findings from this analysis are elucidated below:
Given that wind and solar energy are distinct forms of energy within the same physical field and are typically developed simultaneously in clean energy bases, it is essential to comprehensively assess the variation patterns of complementarity metrics under different climate change scenarios.
This spatial delineation of complementarity paralleled the distribution patterns of wind and solar potentials. Regions rich in wind and solar power potential demonstrated elevated complementarity levels, while areas with less power potential displayed attenuated complementarity.
