The complementarity between wind and solar resources is considered one of the factors that restrict the utilization of intermittent renewable power sources such as these, but the traditional complementarity ass.
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.
However, for the regions with relatively poor wind and solar resources, such as central Tibet, eastern Sichuan, western Yunnan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Guangxi, the complementarity is relatively weak.
Monforti et al. assessed the complementarity between wind and solar resources in Italy through Pearson correlation analysis and found that their complementarity can favourably support their integration into the energy system. Jurasz et al. simulated the operation of wind-solar HES for 86 locations in Poland.
Where is Ossian offshore wind farm located?
Ossian Offshore Wind Farm Limited (Ossian OWFL) (a joint venture between SSE Renewables (SSER), Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Marubeni Corporation (Marubeni)), is developing Ossian, an offshore wind farm located off the east coast of Scotland, approximately 80 km south-east of Aberdeen.
