A new methodology to easy integrate complementarity criteria in the resource assessment process for hybrid power plants: offshore wind and floating PV

The maturity of technologies of energy generation from renewable sources produces tense an increasing interest on hybrid power plant implementation. The combination of different resources, as wind and solar, introduces concepts as complementarity that must be taken into account when suitability of e...
