TSEP#182 Hybrid Power Plants: Unlocking the Future of Renewable Energy

Hybrid power plants are more and more becoming an integral part
of the energy transition: The combination of PV and storage
allows to harmonize generation with consumption, further the
combination with wind allows to reduce costs by sharing
infrastructure and taking advantage of the complementary
generation profiles of sun and wind. The crucial point is a lack
of appropriate policies to fully use the potential of hybrid
power plants. We wanted to know a bit more about the market
development, obstacles and benefits of hybrid power plants, and
therefore talked with Felipe Narbona.


Timeline:




02:32 In Germany, there was just a kick-off of the new
legislation for solar energy, which also included a couple of
changes for storage systems. Does this have an effect on
large-scale hybrid power plants?




08:22 A look at the Global market: What business models for
hybrid power plants exist? Which are the most successful
ones?




10:11 What legislative challenges still hinder the deployment
of hybrid power systems?




13:50 Are there also technical obstacles for hybrid power
systems?




17:13 What market development do you expect for the coming
years?
