The complementarity between wind and solar resources is considered one of the factors that restrict the utilization of intermittent renewable power sources such as these, but the traditional complementarity ass.
The wind-solar complementary pumped-storage power station uses Wind and solar complementary system to generate electricity. It can pump water storage when the pump is directly driven by the battery without using the battery, and then use the stored water to achieve stable power generation.
In the field of wind-solar complementary power generation, Liu Shuhua et al. developed an individual optimization method for the configuration of solar-thermal power plants and established a capacity optimization model for the integrated new energy complementary power generation system in comprehensive parks .

It can be seen from the spatial distribution that wind and solar resource complementarity is relatively high in northwest, northeast, and central China, while the complementarity in the southwest and southern areas of China is relatively low.
What is Huaneng Longdong energy base?
It was the first project to begin service at the Huaneng Longdong Energy Base, the country's first 10-million-kW multi-energy complementary comprehensive energy base. The project is also one of the first national large-scale wind-solar power base projects located in the desert and Gobi areas.
How will China's new power base work?
All projects at the base are scheduled to be put into operation within China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period. Once operational, the base is expected to export 24 billion kWh of power annually to East China's Shandong Province through the ultra-high-voltage power transmission line.
