Construction of wind and solar complementary power generation at Porto Novo solar container communication station

Can a solar-wind system meet future energy demands?

Accelerating energy transition towards renewables is central to net-zero emissions. However, building a global power system dominated by solar and wind energy presents immense challenges. Here, we demonstrate the potential of a globally interconnected solar-wind system to meet future electricity demands.

Is a multi-energy complementary wind-solar-hydropower system optimal?

This study constructed a multi-energy complementary wind-solar-hydropower system model to optimize the capacity configuration of wind, solar, and hydropower, and analyzed the system's performance under different wind-solar ratios. The results show that when the wind-solar ratio is 1.25:1, the overall system performance is optimal.

Why are Brazilian power plants based on variable renewable sources increasing?

In the Brazilian context, investments in power plants based on variable renewable sources have increased significantly over the last two decades, following the global trend emphasizing projects on wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) sources.

Does Brazil have a potential for wind & solar power?

The Northeast of Brazil holds one of the world's largest potentials for wind and solar generation, besides available land, and an urgent need to create economic alternatives to mitigate poverty . The region has continental dimensions, 4.3 times larger than Germany, for example.
