This chapter addresses the complementarity of two intermittent energy sources: wind and
solar photovoltaic. The analysis is conducted for an evenly distributed set of 47,227 points
located on land at latitudes between 60° S and 60° N. The methods applied to measure the
complementarity are, first, finding the mix of solar photovoltaic and wind generators such that
the standard deviation of the mismatch energy is minimized, second, finding the mix of solar
photovoltaic and wind generators such that the size of the storage capacity is minimized …
