Overview

Complementarity of Variable Renewable Energy Sources consolidates current developments on the subject, addressing all technical advances, presenting new mapping results, and bringing new insights for the continuation of research and implementation on this fascinating topic. By answering questions such as How can complementarity be used in the operation of large interconnected systems?, What is the real applicability potential of energetic complementarity?, and How will it impact energy generation systems?, this title is useful for all researchers, academic and students investigating the topic of renewable energy complementarity in systems. In just over a decade, the subject of 'energy complementarity' has experienced a growing presence and understanding by researchers and managers of energy resources looking to enhance energy systems. Early research proposed methods to quantify complementarity, the effects of complementarity on performance of hybrid systems, and how to identify and map complementarity between solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectric energy systems.

Author Information

Jakub K. Jurasz is an assistant professor at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland. He is a former postdoctoral researcher at MDH University, Västerås, Sweden, as a member of the Future Energy Center Group coordinated by Prof. Jinuye Yan. His PhD thesis was dedicated to the optimal operation of solar–wind-pumped storage systems. Currently, he continues his research in the area of renewable energy sources, power system transformation, and water–food–energy nexus. Alexandre Beluco is a professor at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. His doctoral thesis was dedicated to the study of energetic complementarity, and he was one of the pioneers in addressing this topic. His research work is focused on hybrid energy systems, and more recently on hybrid storage systems, looking for the effects of complementarity and also for solutions to local problems, among other topics.
