Why Combine Generation Sources

Solar and wind fail at different times, which is precisely why they work well together. Add storage and the combination stops being a set of intermittent sources and starts behaving like something a plant can plan around.

Complementary Generation

Complementary Generation

Wind and solar peak at different times. Combining them narrows the gaps either leaves on its own.

Round-the-Clock Supply

Round-the-Clock Supply

Storage carries output across the hours when neither source is generating well.

Demand Response

Demand Response

A hybrid plant with storage can respond to grid signals instead of exporting whatever it happens to make.

Connection Efficiency

Connection Efficiency

Sharing one evacuation point across sources raises utilisation of an expensive grid connection.

Output Smoothing

Output Smoothing

Reducing the ramp rates that make variable generation difficult for a network to absorb.

Proven Components

Proven Components

Built from established module, turbine-interface and storage technology rather than unproven combinations.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not simply build more solar?

Beyond a point, additional solar produces surplus at midday and nothing in the evening. Combining sources and adding storage addresses the shape of supply, not just its volume.

Does a hybrid plant need a larger grid connection?

Not usually. Sharing one evacuation point across sources tends to raise utilisation of an existing connection rather than require a bigger one.

What determines the right mix?

The site wind and solar resource, its load profile and its connection constraints. The mix follows from those rather than from a standard ratio.
