A tool for design and scontrol of utility scale wind-solar-storage based hybrid power plant.

Welcome to Hydesign

• A tool for design and control of utility scale wind-solar-storage based hybrid power plant (HPP).

• Hydesign is a non-linear model for evaluating HPP projects including:

  • Wind turbine selection

  • Wake losses that depend on the number of turbines and the installation density of the wind plant

  • Internal energy management system operation of the plant. The operation of the HPP plant is designed in an ideal scenario without degradation and a actual operation that can include degradation of the battery, or PV plant, as well as forecast errors in wind, solar and spot prices.

  • Non-linear battery degradation

  • Detailed cost models for wind, solar and Li-ion battery

  • Detailed financial model based on weighted costs of capital per technology
