The wide-area complementary development and utilization of large-scale hydropower, wind, and solar clean energy bases are important form of renewable energy development in China, playing a crucial role in ensuring energy security and low-carbon transformation. The "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development ofable Energy" released by the state in June 2022 pointed out: the construction work of nine major clean energy bases, including the upper reaches of the Jinsha River and the Yalong River, will be coordinated and promoted. Through the optimization and allocation of clean energy on a wide-area scale, its efficient consumption and utilization can be realized. and solar new energy power generation has obvious stochastic volatility, and large-scale access to the grid brings great challenges to the balance of power and electricity in the system. Large-scaledropower has long-term regulation capabilities at the annual and seasonal scales. By tapping into the complementary regulation capabilities of cascade hydropower and inter-basin hydropower within basin, combined with short-term regulation resources such as pumped storage and new energy storage, it can effectively smooth the volatility of new energy power generation, support the efficient consumption and utilization clean energy, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.
In view of this, it is of great significance to carry out research on joint planning and wide- complementary operation optimization technology for large-scale hydropower, wind, and solar energy bases to promote the low-carbon transformation of China's power system, ensure the efficient of clean energy, and maintain the safe and stable operation of the power system.
