“…In the paper by Berger et al [78], they are able to show that low wind power production events can be counterbalanced on a regional scale by taking advantage of the different wind patterns across the region (western Europe and southern Greenland in their case study). Their findings evidenced that wind power production on different continents might decrease the number of low wind power production events, making a case for evaluating the potential benefits of intercontinental electrical interconnections.…”

“…The concept of critical time windows, which represent periods within the time series with low average capacity factors, are proposed by Berger et al (2018) [78] for the systematic assessment of energetic complementarity over both space and time. These critical time windows provide an accurate description of extreme events within the time series, while retaining chronological information.…”

It is expected, and regionally observed, that energy demand will soon be covered by a widespread deployment of renewable energy sources. However, the weather and climate driven energy sources are characterized by a significant spatial and temporal variability. One of the commonly mentioned solutions to overcome the mismatch between demand and supply provided by renewable generation is a hybridization of two or more energy sources in a single power station (like wind-solar, solar-hydro or solar-wind-hydro). The operation of hybrid energy sources is based on the complementary nature of renewable sources. Considering the growing importance of such systems and increasing number of research activities in this area this paper presents a comprehensive review of studies which investigated, analyzed, quantified and utilized the effect of temporal, spatial and spatiotemporal complementarity between renewable energy sources. The review starts with a brief overview of available research papers, formulates detailed definition of major concepts, summarizes current research directions and ends with prospective future research activities. The review provides a chronological and spatial information with regard to the studies on the complementarity concept.
