Study on Co-siting of Wind Farm and PV Station

After years of booming growth on renewable energy, the untapped land suitable for the wind farm becomes increasingly scarce in China. In order to make full use of the land, it became a realistic practice to construct wind farm together with PV station in those areas where both the wind resource and solar resource are rich. In this paper, based on the analysis of spatial distribution characteristics of wind and solar resources, the factors influencing on the layout of wind turbine and PV array and the interaction between wind turbine and PV array, a proposal for co-siting design wind farm and PV station is discussed.
