A synergistic analysis of solar and wind energy deployment in Europe

Recent energy tensions have added to the pressure that global warming has been exerting for an energy transition towards low-carbon energy sources such as renewable energy sources (RES). This study proposes a novel methodology to inspect the interactions between wind and solar energy development rel...
