Conclusions This study evaluates global land-based solar–wind complementarity from 1950 to 2021 using high-resolution ERA5-Land data at 0.1° × 0.1° (∼9 km) resolution, mapping spatial patterns, long-term trends, and seasonal dynamics of solar power density (SPD) and wind power density (WPD) at 100 m hub height.
Central Africa and Southeast Asia show synchronized solar and wind variability. Seasonal shifts enhance complementarity in the Sahel during spring and autumn. Low-complementarity zones have expanded in parts of Australia over time. Regional patterns inform hybrid energy planning for land-based resource use.
Table 1. Implications for regional energy systems derived from K-means classification of global land-based solar–wind complementarity over the period 1950–2021. Ideal for hybrid solar–wind systems; leverage seasonal offsets to minimize storage needs and ensure stable energy output.
While this study effectively utilizes monthly averaged ERA5-Land data to assess solar–wind complementarity over decadal scales, its temporal resolution introduces certain limitations. Short-term fluctuations in SPD and WPD, such as diurnal cycles and wind gusts critical for hybrid system stability, are obscured .
