“…Studying these spatial variations of the wind and solar outputs is important for two reasons. Firstly, the aggregation of disperse intermittent power sources reduce their overall variability [3,57,31,11,21,59,38]. Secondly, it may help to optimize the complementarity between different renewable power sources and the system load.…”

“…Secondly, it may help to optimize the complementarity between different renewable power sources and the system load. [58,59,38,16] The smoothing effect from geographical dispersion has been widely studied for wind power [57,18,59]. It is well known that a wider geographical distribution of wind farms reduce their overall variability [35,46,13].…”

“…Coker [8] also found that wind generation in UK correlates better with the seasonal load curve than solar generation. Finally, Widen [59] and Monforti [38] studied the complementarity over different timescales of wind and solar generation over Sweden and Italy, respectively. They found negative distance independent correlations between solar and wind power over all timescales, but stronger for monthly averages.…”

One of the greatest obstacles in the exploitation of wind and solar resources is the uncertainty in their availability, usually known as intermittency effects. These effects can be greatly diminished by combining wind and solar resources from different locations. In this article we study the temporal variability of solar irradiance and wind speeds in Argentina, focusing on current projects and those included in GENREN and RENOVAR tenders. We also converted two year wind speeds and irradiance time series into power production, analyzing its compatibility with demand. Finally we numerically search the best distribution of additional capacity that minimizes a basic measure of the intermittency effect. ResumenLa falta de certeza en la disponibilidad es uno de los mayores obstáculos que se presentan a la hora de aprovechar las energías eólica y solar. Esta característica, usualmente conocida como efectos de intermitencia, puede ser mitigada integrando ambas fuentes y en distintos sitios. En este trabajo estudiamos la variabilidad temporal del recurso eólico y solar en Argentina, enfocándonos en los proyectos ofrecidos en las licitaciones GENREN y REN-OVAR. Luego convertimos las series temporales horarias de viento y sol en potencia, durante el perído 2015-2016, * tguozden@unrn.edu.ar † ebianchi@unrn.edu.ar estudiando como hubiera sido el recurso de los parques eólicos y solares operativos y próximos a entrar en servicio. Porúltimo analizamos la mejor distribución de potencia adicional a la proyectada tal que su impacto sobre la intermitencia sea mínimo.

If two or more renewable energy sources are available in the same region, their complementary can be advantageous in a hybrid power system. Three indices are defined in this work for assessing the complementarity of solar and wind resources for energy production. Based on existing data of solar radiation and wind speed, these complementarity indices were calculated and represented in the form of maps for the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil. The results found suggest that there are some areas of the state where the use of hybrid wind-solar power systems could be more effective than single photovoltaic or wind systems.

“…US and Spain have made notable investment in CSP, with Spain being the leader in CSP deployment. The increased integration of non-dispatchable renewable wind and solar energy into the power grid poses technical challenges on the forecast due to the intermittency and variability of those resources [2].…”

This paper is on the maximization of total profit in a dayahead market for a price-taker producer needing a short-term scheduling for wind power plants coordination with concentrated solar power plants, having thermal energy storage systems. The optimization approach proposed for the maximization of profit is a mixed-integer linear programming problem. The approach considers not only transmission grid constraints, but also technical operating constraints on both wind and concentrated solar power plants. Then, an improved short-term scheduling coordination is provided due to the more accurate modelling presented in this paper. Computer simulation results based on data for the Iberian wind and concentrated solar power plants illustrate the coordination benefits and show the effectiveness of the approach.
