Are solar power plants optimally distributed in South and East Asia?
We find that PV power plants are optimally distributed in South and East Asia at a latitude of 20–40°N with total power generation of 14 PWh y -1 and an average LCOE of $0.089 per kWh by accounting for the spatial distributions of solar radiation, land occupation, clouds, land cover, power demand, and capital costs (Fig. 2c).
Which region has the largest solar-wind complementarity?
A study by Viviescas et al. determined that high wind speeds during nighttime make areas from the northeastern coast of Brazil exhibit the largest solar-wind complementarity, confirming the findings of this paper.
Is there a complementarity evaluation method for wind and solar power?
Han et al. have proposed a complementarity evaluation method for wind, solar, and hydropower by examining independent and combined power generation fluctuation. Hydropower is the primary source, while wind and solar participation are changed in each scenario to improve power system operation.
