Hybrid Power refers to the form of energy mix in which two kinds of power or energy forms combined together. Hybrid power has been widely used in Power generation, Industry, Vehicle and other fields.
Hybrid power plant refers to a kind of power generation system combining two types of energy, which common form is hybrid power generation combined by renewable energy sources (wind energy, water energy, solar energy, ocean energy, etc.) and fossil power. Renewable energy sources hybridized with liquid fuel or gas fuel engines are the perfect synergy to take the advantages of both electricity sources. The renewable energy share delivers free electricity with a green footprint and highly efficient engines care of reliable base load supply or flexibly available backup for obtaining a continuous power output.
The enviromental policy of many countries worldwide generally calls for a higher share of renewable energy sources in their power generation concepts to reduce emissions and the high share of fossils in the electricity generation mix. Moreover, wind power, hydroelectricity and solar power are attractive sources of renewable energy – they are free, widely available and don’t produce greenhouse gases.
However, all renewable energy sources rely entirely on one thing to behave: the weather. Hydro-generators need rain to fill up dams to supply flowing water. Wind turbines need wind to turn the blades. Photovoltaic or solar collectors require clear skies and sunshine to generate electricity. As these basic conditions often vary in availability, energy production varies with them. This makes it tricky if electricity is needed steadily and reliably, e.g. in case of island and micro grids or remote applications such as mining sites. At this situation, hybrid power plants are your best choice.
Of course, the higher the share of renewable energy sources the more complex is the balancing of the plant. Therefore a sophisticated storage and plant management system care of demand-oriented electricity supply. Thus, if you either add a small share of renewables to your engine based power plant to achieve fuel savings or even hybridize up to 100% peak renewable penetration with engines: we can provide the suitable solution.
