Wind and solar photovoltaic power generation

Are solar photovoltaics and wind power growing?

Solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind power have been growing at an accelerated pace, more than doubling in installed capacity and nearly doubling their share of global electricity generation from 2018 to 2023.

Can wind power and photovoltaic energy be correlated?

This type of research has only established correlation models that include a single wind and solar resource, without analysing the spatiotemporal correlation between wind power and photovoltaic, two new energy sources simultaneously.

Why is wind and solar energy a natural product?

However, wind and solar energy, as a natural product, are greatly affected by natural environmental factors, which makes wind and photovoltaic (PV) power generation have strong randomness, volatility and discontinuity, resulting in unstable power generation and low energy conversion efficiency .

What is the wind and PV power generation potential of China?

The wind and PV power generation potential of China is about 95.84 PWh, which is approximately 13 times the electricity demand of China in 2020. The rich areas of wind power generation are mainly distributed in the western, northern, and coastal provinces of China.

Are wind power and photovoltaic power output correlation models a problem?

However, there are currently two problems in the research of wind power and photovoltaic power output correlation models by domestic and foreign scholars: on the one hand, most studies only focus on the correlation of individual wind and solar resources.

What is a positive correlation between solar power and wind power?

When the wind and solar output exhibits a positive correlation characteristic, that is, the wind power output increases and the photovoltaic output also increases at the same time.
