“…Indeed, as they are based on the use of different primary resources, their intermittency and variability are different, with more or less predictability, so they cannot be dispatched as conventional sources could be [61]. A limited number of studies have discussed these aspects considering all the sources.…”

“…A limited number of studies have discussed these aspects considering all the sources. In one of these [61], Widén et al presents the main intermittencies and variabilities of the four sources, with a review of existing forecast methods. The standard deviation of each source according to the different time scales (frequency bands) is studied by J. Olauson et al at the level of a country [62].…”

“…Recently, a review of solar and wind space-time variabilities has been conducted by K. Engeland et al but this does not include tidal and wave resources [66]. Table 1 presents the main characteristics in terms of variability and intermittency for each source, with the origin and existing methods to evaluate temporal variations according to different publications [61][62][63][64][65][66]. …”

Electrical Power Supply of Remote Maritime Areas: A Review of Hybrid Systems Based on Marine Renewable Energies

Abstract:Ocean energy holds out great potential for supplying remote maritime areas with their energy requirements, where the grid size is often small and unconnected to a continental grid. Thanks to their high maturity and competitive price, solar and wind energies are currently the most used to provide electrical energy. However, their intermittency and variability limit the power supply reliability. To solve this drawback, storage systems and Diesel generators are often used. Otherwise, among all marine renewable energies, tidal and wave energies are reaching an interesting technical level of maturity. The better predictability of these sources makes them more reliable than other alternatives. Thus, combining different renewable energy sources would reduce the intermittency and variability of the total production and so diminish the storage and genset requirements. To foster marine energy integration and new multisource system development, an up-to-date review of projects already carried out in this field is proposed. This article first presents the main characteristics of the different sources which can provide electrical energy in remote maritime areas: solar, wind, tidal, and wave energies. Then, a review of multi-source systems based on marine energies is presented, concerning not only industrial projects but also concepts and research work. Finally, the main advantages and limits are discussed.

“…It is therefore not given that wind and solar irradiation will be complementary, and each location must be investigated independently. Several studies have investigated the temporal correlation of individual renewable energy sources over a larger geographical area [4]. Recent studies have also focused on how different intermittent renewable energy sources complement each other and how the combination of two or several complementary renewable sources result in a smoother total power output than the power output from each of the sources independently [4].…”

Recent studies have also focused on how different intermittent renewable energy sources complement each other and how the combination of two or several complementary renewable sources result in a smoother total power output than the power output from each of the sources independently [4]. In the study by Widèn [2] on the correlation of large scale dispersed wind and solar power, it is concluded that when it comes to the correlation of wind and solar the spatial dispersion is less important than for the correlation of each of them independently.…”

Abstract. This paper assesses the possibilities for combining wind and solar power in a household-scale hybrid renewable energy system in arctic high-latitude areas in the North of Norway. By combining two complementary renewable energy sources, the efficiency and reliability of the power output can be improved compared to a system utilizing wind or solar power independently. This paper assesses the correlation between wind and solar power on different timescales in four different locations in Northern Norway and Svalbard. For all locations complementary characteristics of wind and solar power are found, however, the strength of the correlation is highly variable for each location and for the different timescales. The best correlation for all places is found on a monthly timescale. HOMER is used to run simulations on hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) for each location. For three of the four locations the HRES produces more power than what is consumed in the household.
