The results reveal that wind energy and solar energy resources in China undergo large interannual fluctuations and show significant spatial heterogeneity. At the same time, according to the complementarity of wind and solar resources, over half of China’s regions are suitable for the complementary development of resources.
Wind and solar energy complement each other well from seasonal to hourly scales. Wind-solar hybrid power generation boosts availability 15%–25 % vs. single sources. Wind-solar hybrid power ensures continuous renewable supply during daytime hours. Adjusting wind and solar proportions enhances their complementary strength.
The assessment results of temporal volatility of wind power and solar PV power potential in different regions of China show that they can be well complementary at different time scales.
Finally, we also strive to harmonize regions where wind and solar resources are less complementary by introducing hydro-energy resources. The results reveal that wind energy and solar energy resources in China undergo large interannual fluctuations and show significant spatial heterogeneity.
Researchers have observed significant complementarity between wind and solar energy in China by utilizing indicators such as correlation coefficients . This complementarity is most evident at the hourly to daily scales, particularly in regions such as Xinjiang and the Hexi Corridor .
Wind-solar-hydro complementary potential shows great temporal and spatial variation. Renewable complementarity can improve China's future power system stability. In the context of carbon neutrality, renewable energy, especially wind power, solar PV and hydropower, will become the most important power sources in the future low-carbon power system.
