Impact of Climate Change on Wind and Photovoltaic Energy Resources in the Canary Islands and Adjacent Regions

Abstract: The progressive energy transition to systems with higher shares of renewable energy is particularly important in islands regions, which are largely dependent on energy imports. In this context, to assess the impact of climate change on renewable energy resources during the 21st century is crucial for polycimakers and stakeholders. In this work, we provide an overview of wind and photovoltaic (PV) resources, its variability and complementarity between them, as well as their future changes, in the Canary Islands… Show more

“…March is the month with the greatest reduction in relative humidity, reaching 13% at RCP8.5. The wind does not show relevant changes in these locations, remaining these variations in the worst-case scenario within the range between − 2.1 and 2.3 km/h, consistent with previous studies 35 , 36 . Finally, the decrease in precipitation is remarkable during the winter months.…”

“…Harnessing the inexhaustible nature of renewable energy, coupled with its absence of harmful emissions, not only mitigates the global greenhouse effect but also significantly alleviates the constraints of traditional energy supply modes [2] [3]. Solar energy, in particular, has emerged as a research focal point in many countries owing to its abundance, accessibility, and environmental friendliness [4]. Consequently, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology plays a pivotal role in photovoltaic (PV) power generation, leading to the development of numerous MPPT techniques [5].…”

“…A specific example of this interest can be seen when thinking about the emerging concept of energy droughts. It has generally been defined based on an energy deficiency and, thus, wind threshold [53][54][55][56][57]. Also, atmospheric conditions related to these phenomena have been studied [36,58,59].…”
