The combination of Wind and solar power can effectively meet the energy demand of the Brazilian Northeast region, reducing the dependency on hydroelectricity and thermoelectric plants. Using energy storage systems can further optimize the supply, reducing the need for transmission capacity and mitigating the effects of resource intermittency.
Concerning other regions, the complementarity levels reach 40 % in the South, Southeast, and the remainder of the Northeast . Moreover, the Brazilian Northeast stands out as the country's most advantageous location for wind power generation.
The article discusses the potential of combining Wind and solar power in Brazil, particularly in the Northeast region, and the role of energy storage in managing the intermittency of these renewable energy sources. The results show that Wind and solar resources are consistently complementary in the region.
The space-time variability of weather-related energy production is a challenge because one of the primary goals of electric utilities is to balance supply and demand . The use of PV power, along with wind power, results in a smoother energy output. The level of complementarity may vary according to the region and the time of year.
In the Brazilian context, investments in power plants based on variable renewable sources have increased significantly over the last two decades, following the global trend emphasizing projects on wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) sources.
