Hybrid power plants show promise to provide significant value to the electric grid system, especially as shares of renewable energy in systems increase from 10% to 20% or more and costs of wind, solar photovoltaics, and battery storage all continue to decrease. Many manufacturers and developers are. .
This data product presents an annual snapshot of trends in hybrid and co-located power plants, defined as projects that combine two or more generators and/or storage assets at a single point of interconnection. It summarizes public empirical data, especially from the U.S. Energy Information. .
The installed capacity and installed share of photovoltaics in power systems are increasing, promoting the transformation of traditional power systems to novel power systems; this maximizes the consumption of new energy as the main task and is supported by source-network-load-storage interactions. .
The deployment of utility-scale hybrid wind–solar PV power plants is gaining global attention due to their enhanced performance in power systems with high renewable energy penetration. To assess their potential, accurate estimations must be derived from the available data, addressing key challenges. .
Hybrid systems, as the name implies, combine two or more modes of electricity generation together, usually using renewable technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines. Hybrid systems provide a high level of energy security through the mix of generation methods, and often will.
