A dimensionless index evaluating the time complementarity between solar and hydraulic energies

Beluco, Alexandre; Souza, Paulo Kroeff de; Krenzinger, Arno - In: Renewable Energy 33 (2008) 10, pp. 2157-2165

The power plants based on renewable sources face various acceptance difficulties mainly due to high initial costs and low overall efficiencies. A way to improve performance of these systems is to utilize more than one type of source of energy chosen to provide some degree of complementarity. An...
