研究目的
To show the complementarity between solar and wind energy potentials in Benin Republic and find locations offering optimal complementarity.
研究成果
The study successfully identified optimal locations for solar and wind energy complementarity in Benin, specifically between the Littoral department for wind and Collines department for solar, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.4291 indicating remarkable inverse correlation. This approach aids in stabilizing power generation from renewable sources and can be applied to other regions for renewable energy planning.
研究不足
The study is based on data from a single year (2013), which may not capture long-term variability. The optimization focuses only on minimizing correlation and does not consider other factors like economic or environmental constraints. The precision of solar data (0.05°) and interpolation methods might introduce errors.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses an optimization approach with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to minimize the Pearson correlation coefficient between solar and wind energy potentials. The dimensionless index approach models the potentials, and PSO is implemented in Matlab? with specific coefficients and parameters.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Daily wind speed data from Cadjehoun airport in Cotonou for 2013 (98.45% data availability) and daily solar radiation data (DNI) covering Benin with 0.05° precision from the Heliosat (SARAH) dataset for the same period.
