extreme climate risks have become a significant variable affecting the safe and stable operation of the new power system. Based on the ground observation data from the national meteorological station in the concentrated area of new energy in Ningxia
this paper analyzes the extreme climate risk characteristics of wind and solar energy resources. The results show that the "no wind and no light" event occurs most frequently and has the most significant impact during continuous rainy and stable weather conditions
with wind power and photovoltaic output dropping to 20% and 30% of the average level respectively
posing a prominent risk to grid operation. This event is highly prevalent in autumn and winter
with a typical duration of 36 to 40 hours. In the future
with the increase in the number of days with light wind and precipitation
its occurrence frequency may further rise. To address these challenges
it is necessary to fully leverage the complementary characteristics of wind and solar energy in the "wind but no light" and "light but no wind" scenarios
and enhance the stability and reliability of the new power system under extreme weather conditions by optimizing energy storage configuration
strengthening regional power grid interconnection
and improving meteorological monitoring and early warning capabilities.
