Renewable energy quality trilemma and coincident wind and solar droughts - Communications Earth & Environment

|
By Mingquan Li, Ahmed Abdulla, Edgar Virgüez, Shuo Gao
| Nature Verified
Abstract Renewable energy is essential for power system decarbonization, but extended and unexpected periods of extremely low wind and solar resources (i.e., wind and solar droughts) pose a threat to reliability. The challenge is further exacerbated if shortages of the two occur simultaneously or if they affect neighboring grids simultaneously.

By Edgar Virgüez
| Nature Verified
Simply copying and pasting the decarbonization strategies from the Global North to the cities in the Global South isn’t enough. Edgar Virgüez suggests that we can do better by engaging more directly and inclusively, in science education and more broadly.

Identification of reliable locations for wind power generation through a global analysis of wind droughts - Communications Earth & Environment

|
By Edgar Virgüez, Lei Duan, Tyler H. Ruggles
| Nature Verified
Abstract Wind droughts, or prolonged periods of low wind speeds, pose challenges for electricity systems largely reliant on wind generation. Using weather reanalysis data, we analyzed the global distribution of and trends in wind droughts using an energy deficit metric that integrates the depth and duration of wind droughts.
