Abstract
Unreliability of power production from green sources is a significant hindrance to implementation. This study investigates a dual-synergistic approach to alternative power; the dual synergies being (a) multiple energy sources and (b) multiple locations. Generation simulations were conducted for notional combined systems in two California coastal locations: one in the northern portion and one in the southern. These combined systems consisted of offshore wave, offshore wind, and onshore solar generation. Estimated production was compared hourly with demand. Treating the two locations as a single entity showed the synergistic behavior superior by 40% to the production when viewing the two sites independently.
