Environmental protection of wind and solar complementary equipment for solar container communication stations

4 FAQs about Environmental protection of wind and solar complementary equipment for solar container communication stations

What is a wind-solar-hydro-thermal-storage multi-source complementary power system?

Figure 1 shows the structure of a wind-solar-hydro-thermal-storage multi-source complementary power system, which is composed of conventional units (thermal power units, hydropower units, etc.), new energy units (photovoltaic power plants, wind farms, etc.), energy storage systems, and loads.

Can wind energy plants be co-located with other energy systems?

In countries where land is limited, wind energy plants can be co-located with other energy systems (e.g. solar, geothermal, biomass conventional thermal, natural gas power plants) or active sites (e.g. oil and gas wellsite, coal mine, mineral mine).

How can wind and solar energy systems improve environmental performance?

Several options can be considered to improve the overall environmental performance of wind and solar energy systems. First, the most effective factor is the recycling rate of the materials used in the manufacturing process.

Do water-solar-wind complementary systems work in hydropower stations?

For example, (Zhu et al., 2017) studied the operation of water–solar–wind complementary systems in typical hydropower stations in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River but did not consider constraints such as land use and investment costs.
