Why is hybridization a key enabler in solving the puzzle of grid congestion? Well, hybrid power plants have the ability to harness multiple energy sources in a single integrated system, enhancing flexibility in power production and utilizing the power potential to its fullest. Energy storage, which can often be built more rapidly than new transmission, can help ease transmission grid constraints by shifting generation and load over time. But building hybrid power plants – or adding battery storage to existing wind or solar PV plants – is only the first step in actually utilizing the full potential of hybridization. The next step is optimal plant design and configuration. And according to a new study from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the measured impact of hybridization varies depending on the setup. This means that power providers and investors can increase the potential of their power plants by choosing the right setup and right configuration. And that is why we specialize in step 2.

🔋 Why Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems are Going High-Voltage! 🔋 Switching from 1000V to 1500V in solar PV systems is a game changer for boosting power generation efficiency! 💡 Higher voltages mean less energy loss during transmission, making the most of the sun’s power. But that’s not all—upgrading to 1500V is also more cost-effective, requiring about 25% fewer strings, which means fewer components like combiner boxes and inverters, and shorter cables. More efficient and cost-efficient? Yes, please! 🌞🔌 To learn more: 👉https://lnkd.in/gu9mdJXC #Innovation #Sustainability #SolarPower
