hybrid wind-PV

CleanMax has completed a 400 MW wind-solar hybrid project in India to provide clean electricity to various commercial and industrial customers, including Hero MotoCorp, Hindalco Industries, Larsen & Toubro, and MG Motor.

CleanMax has built a 400 MW wind-solar plant in India, which is purportedly the nation’s largest single hybrid project for offtake by the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector.

France’s first hybrid project consists of a 5 MW PV plant and a 24 MW wind farm. Real-time communication between the two installations facilitates the injection of electricity into the network.

QEM has shortlisted three non-binding indicative bids to develop, own and operate 1 GW of proposed wind and solar energy to power its planned vanadium mining and oil shale project in Queensland, Australia.

UK oil and gas giant BP is a step closer to establishing a large-scale integrated renewables and green hydrogen project in Western Australia after outlaying AUD 23 million ($15.3 million) for an almost 23,000-hectare property.

Vibrant Energy will set up a 100 MW (DC) wind-solar hybrid project in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The plant will be connected to the interstate transmission system (ISTS) and will supply round-the-clock power to Saint-Gobain’s facilities in the country.

Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has agreed to sign a 25-year power purchase agreement with hybrid power developers.

Indian scientists have created a hybrid power exploitability index to identify optimal locations for constructing new solar and wind hybrid power plants. They have evaluated retrofitting existing standalone plants and have discovered that all but one of the eight plants could be hybridized, with up to a 400% annual increase in power output.

Joachim Steenstrup, head of public affairs for Denmark-based Eurowind Energy, speaks to pv magazine about hybrid solar-wind projects, why the hybridization trend makes financial sense, and how PV-wind hybrid installations are the building blocks for the “energy centers” of the future.

Amp Energy has agreed to set up a 200 MW wind-solar plant on a build-own-operate basis. It will sell the generated electricity to Solar Energy Corp. of India.
