Wind–solar power generation is inherently uncertain. These uncertainties bring considerable difficulties to the assessment of hosting capacity. To tackle these difficulties, it is essential to create typical scenarios that can precisely capture the statistical traits and interrelationships of wind–solar power. In this research, we systematically integrate various scenario generation techniques, resulting in the creation of a holistic framework grounded in kernel density estimation (KDE) and Copula functions. Our proposed approach represents the stochastic nature of wind–solar power output by constructing their respective probability density functions (PDFs). It comprehensively depicts the potential spatiotemporal complementarity between wind–solar power by utilizing Copula functions and establishing a joint probability distribution model. Through Monte Carlo simulation, we generated a large number of wind–solar output scenarios. Subsequently, we employed the K-means clustering algorithm to reduce the number of scenarios. The findings reveal that the integrated framework, which combines KDE and Copula theory, achieves higher fitting accuracy for the marginal distributions and correlation structures of wind–solar power generation. As a result, the generated scenarios are more representative and reliable, offering strong support for photovoltaic (PV) hosting capacity analysis (HCA) and the formulation of typical plans. We validate the proposed method using historical wind–solar data from several representative regions in China, such as Inner Mongolia, northern Hebei, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, and Hubei Province. This validation demonstrates the method’s applicability under various geographical and climatic conditions.
