An in-depth study of the principles and technologies of wind-solar
The results of the study show that wind-solar hybrid systems can effectively reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and reduce environmental pollution, and they play an
This report presents a first-ever comprehensive stocktake of integration measures implemented across 50 power systems worldwide, covering nearly 90% of global solar PV and wind generation. The analysis identifies a core set of measures universally adopted by systems in Phase 2 of VRE integration and higher.
Maximising the benefits from increased solar PV and wind capacity requires effective integration into power systems. While power systems have always managed demand variability, variable renewable energy (VRE) such as wind and solar PV introduces supply variability depending on the weather.
Notwithstanding these limitations, the result of this work clearly highlights the added value of using wind and solar PV complementarity and electricity criteria as a planning strategy for new VRE capacity deployment aiming to reduce the power flexibility needs, namely, the use of expensive energy storage systems.
This is due to the unpredictable and intermittent nature of solar and wind power. The intermittent nature of solar and wind resources can be reduced by integrating them optimally, making the entire system more reliable and cost-effective to operate.
