Understanding renewable energy 'drought' at solar, wind sites

An international research team based across Canada, China and the US have said developers must stop focusing not only resource availability, and also consider resource variability and resource extremeness, to avoid renewables "drought" at solar and wind sites. A team of researchers has proposed a model for assessing potential renewable energy drought at existing solar and wind sites and has urged developers to consider a "trilemma" of competing factors when planning future deployment. The research paper "Renewable energy quality trilemma and coincident wind and solar droughts," available in the ...
