To this end, we propose a novel variation-based complementarity metrics system based on the description of series’ fluctuation characteristics from quantitative and contoured dimensions. From this, the complementarity between wind and solar resources in China is assessed, and the trend and persistence are tested.
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.
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.
That previous study used Kendall tau correlation coefficients and the second Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA-2) reanalysis dataset, showed that the worst complementarity between wind and solar is found in northwest China.
Accelerating energy transition towards renewables is central to net-zero emissions. However, building a global power system dominated by solar and wind energy presents immense challenges. Here, we demonstrate the potential of a globally interconnected solar-wind system to meet future electricity demands.
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.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually.
