A new study shows the benefits of coordinating the siting of solar farms, wind farms, and storage systems, taking into account local and temporal variations in wind, sunlight, and energy demand.

This approach maximizes the utilization of renewable resources and reduces costs.

Researchers looked at both weather data and energy system planning modeling on a scale of less than 10-kilometer (about 6-mile ) resolution.

The researchers say their framework is flexible and can be easily adapted to any region.

In Texas , for example, peak winds in the west occur in the morning , while along the south coast in the afternoon.

The study shows that there is actually a hidden cost-saving potential in exploiting local patterns in weather, that can result in a monetary reduction in storage cost.
