Complementarity and development potential assessment of offshore wind
Although reviews have concluded many benefits and potential areas for the combined offshore wind-solar system development, there is still insufficient investigation on
If ASEAN continues its energy transition at the current pace, it risks missing out on the opportunities provided by the declining costs of wind and solar, now cheaper than fossil fuels. Between 2018 and 2022, 38 GW of renewable energy capacity was added, with about 44% coming from solar capacity growth in Viet Nam.
The ASEAN region has 27 GW of solar and 6.8 GW of wind installed capacity in 2022, representing less than 1% of the approximately 30,523 GW of solar and 1,383 GW of wind theoretical potential estimated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
By calculating the Kendall rank correlation coefficient between wind and solar energy in China, the study mapped the spatial distribution of wind-solar energy complementarity. Han et al. proposed a complementary evaluation framework for wind-solar-hydro multi-energy systems based on multi-criteria assessment and K-means clustering algorithms.
Wind and solar energy potential show similar characteristics in most parts of China, especially in the northern and southern parts of China. A few regions exhibit complementary characteristics, including the southeastern coastal areas and northeastern regions.
