Introduction
Hybrid Generation Plants (HPPs) are complete
solutions for power generation using two or
more primary energy sources, being usually one
or more renewables.
Solar PV Wind Biomass Geotherm Gas Diesel Coil Fuel Cell Batteries
Introduction
Hybrid combination can be made at different generation
levels depending on the conversion processes. Most
important are:
We will refer here to Electricity Level Plant type
Electricity Level PV Plants
Wind Plants
Hydro or Minihydro
Diesel Generator
…
Heat Conversion in Combined Cycle Gas
ThermoSolar

Introduction
Power range goes from domestic one kilowatt
installations to several megawatts for utility-scale
purposes.

Importance of Storage
Capabilities
Descompensation between offer and demand not balanced quickly
(in a few seconds) can result in a blackout of the system
One single wind facility or PV Installation alone, due to the
intermitence nature of the generation, cannot power to a significant
population without risks and it is needed a support this lack.
Diesel Generators as energy backup imply fuel energy dependence
and higher generation costs.
Utilization of energy storage technology is the way to get
grid stability and support the growth of intermittent wind
and solar electricity capacity.
Technology Selection
Different technologies have to be integrated to achieve a
unique and robust power system.
A feasibility study must be done taking into account
different factors:
Scope and specific objectives for the project
The load, resources and infrastructures available at site
Different renewable energies potential capacity
Preferred technologies to be implemented for economical, social,
politics and another factors
Elements can be interconnected both in DC and AC

Hybrid Power Plants in Smart
Grids: Puerto Rico MTRs
Future Smart Grids need highly distributed control and
stability to balance supply and demand correctly.
In Puerto Rico, Minimum Technical Requirements
(MTRs) established by the Local Authority (PREPA) are
the most advanced requirements to connect Renewable
Plants to the electric grid.
Renewable Plants
should act as
conventional facilities
in unstable situations.
Hybrid Power Plants in Smart
Grids: Puerto Rico MTRs
Voltage Regulation System (VRS):
The facility shall contribute to the grid’s voltage regulation,
following the settings and reference of the utility’s operator
with a continuously variable and acting close loop
Frequency Ride-
Through
The frequency protection
will be set under PREPA
requirements.
Voltage Ride-Through
The generators shall be online
despite of the presence of
‘voltage sags’ (LVRT) and
Overvoltages (OVRT) in the grid

Power Ramp Rate control
• The PV facility shall be able to
control the rate of change of
power output during some
circumstances.
• The maximum change allowable
is 10% of the rated power per
minute. PV plant has to reduce
power under utility demands
(curtailment).
