The key to successful
operation of a hybrid
power plant is a
control system
consisting of hardware and
software capable of optimizing
the operation of the di erent
generation sources in
conjunction with the
storage system.
Storage
Systems
Batteries are
in most hybrid
power plants,
but other forms
such as hydro
pumped storage
can also be used.
Generation Sources
A hybrid power plant can include
any power generation source, such
as simple or combined cycle gas
turbine plants, wind, solar
photovoltaic or hydro.

The possible combinations of equipment to make a hybrid power plant are extensive
and limited only by the specific application and imagination of the plant designer.
In its most basic sense, a hybrid power plant is comprised of three main elements:
