The hybrid power plant is a complete electrical power supply system that can be easily configured to meet a broad range of remote power needs. There are three basic elements to the system - the power source, the battery, and the power management center. The power sources are a wind turbine, diesel engine generator, and solar arrays. The battery allows autonomous operation by compensating for the difference between power production and use. The power management center regulates power production from each of the sources, controls power use by classifying loads, and protects the battery from service extremes.
Hybrid Systems
Hybrid power systems combine two or more energy conversion devices, or two or more fuels for the same device, that when integrated, overcome limitations inherent in either. Hybrid systems can address limitations in terms of Fuel flexibility, efficiency, reliability, emissions and / or economics.
Define the thrust of a new program Compile a set of activities that may tap into existing technology programs to fill in the gaps Coordinate but not overlap with technology programs Stimulate innovative thinking that leads to creative business opportunities Define how a hybrid power program will accelerate introduction of all DER technologies that include renewables Make determination on the need for an integrated distributed hybrid power program
UNCONTROLLED SOURCES
Natural sources giving
Electricity should be produced exactly at the time it is needed. Sun and wind do not meet this requirement. so special types of Power plant should be built to avoid shortage of power and to utilise all available sun and wind power. There are atleast two ways to achieve this aim: 1. power plant using two (or more) primary sources with additional control system. 2. Electricity energy storage.
For hybrid power plant one of the sources must be controlled source.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Storage Power Electronics
The block diagram of hybrid solar and fuel cell power plant
Wind/Diesel Power
High penetration 130kW wind added to existing 365kW diesel Benefits of hybrid system: Reduced fuel consumption 50-60%, requiring less diesel storage- Diesel generator provides continuous power in absence of wind
Benefit
-maximizing renewable resource usage Eliminated risk of diesel spills Reduced annual fuel usage
DC MICROGRID
Avoidance of many difficulties associated with control of energy parameters. Simplification of control strategy and control units Cost reduction. Reduction in transmission losses Introduction of load active control methods. New method of energy measurement.
Reliable, continuous power maximizing renewable usage Reduced fuel consumption 50-60%, requiring less diesel storage Reduced operating costs Less electricity No Power Outages- The next time a hurricane goes through you will not have to worry about losing power for a week in the summer. Provided that your system was not damaged. Pollutants-No pollutants are being released into the air. Cells only become a problem when it comes time to replace them (about twenty years)
Conclusions
Hybrid power systems can offer solutions and value to
customers that individual technologies cannot match. HPS are a good way to have available sources of electricity which optimise utilisation of primary energy sources. Hybrids offer market entry strategies for technologies that cannot currently compete with the lowest-cost traditional options. Some renewable hybrid power systems are commercially available today. Many options for the configuration of hybrid systems Depend on load, resource, and costs.
