Couto and Estanqueiro have proposed a method to explore the complementarity of primary wind and solar resources and the demand for electricity in planning the expansion of electrical power systems.
Notwithstanding these limitations, the result of this work clearly highlights the added value of using wind and solar PV complementarity and electricity criteria as a planning strategy for new VRE capacity deployment aiming to reduce the power flexibility needs, namely, the use of expensive energy storage systems.
In, a considerable complementarity between the wind and solar power production in Portugal was also identified, i.e., when the solar PV output is maximum, wind generation tends to exhibit the minimum values (daytime), and vice versa.
In the case of PV + Wind HSC scenario, the complementarity enables to obtain a flat net load profile during the day. The daily amplitude is nearly 1500 MW with reduced hourly step-changes enabling to decrease the power system flexibility requirements needs. In this case, the highest net load values are expected by the end of the day (7 to 10 p.m.).
