Abstract
The key feature of a future energy and power system is to integrate a high share of renewable energy. The randomness and variability of wind and solar power generation will lead to significant changes and challenges to the security and economics of the power systems. Fortunately, renewable energies have apparent but complex spatiotemporal complementarity and therefore will mitigate the randomness and variability of large-scale renewable power generation. Understanding and quantifying such complementarity comprehensively and meticulously is the pre-condition of taking full advantage of the renewable complementarity and benefits the planning and operation of the future renewable-dominated power system. To this end, this chapter aims at presenting a comprehensive evaluation system and corresponding indicators for quantifying the complementarity of renewable resources and their power generation.
