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 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.
Nevertheless, wind power and solar power outputs have significant stochastic, intermittent, and naturally variable characteristics due to their strong relationship with climate and weather conditions.
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.
The complementarity between wind and solar resources is considered one of the factors that restrict the utilization of intermittent renewable power sources such as these, but the traditional complementarity assessment rely on the strength of the negatively correlated variables and do not consider the scale of those different variables.
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.
