Wind-Solar Hybrid Systems Advisory
Key Decisions SgurrEnergy Supports
Resource complementarity
Why: The hybrid value depends on whether wind and solar generation profiles complement each other across seasons and time blocks. How: Wind and solar resource review, generation profile analysis and correlation assessment.
Shared evacuation
Why: Shared grid infrastructure can improve utilisation but may introduce curtailment and dispatch constraints. How: Evacuation review, curtailment assessment, grid studies and interconnection advisory.
Technology layout
Why: Wind turbine layout and solar land use must be coordinated with access, BoP, terrain and O&M needs. How: Layout review, site constraints review and interface assessment.
Bankability
Why: Hybrid yield assumptions must be credible for investment, lending and PPA commitments. How: Technical due diligence, risk assessment and financial model input review.
Controls and metering
Why: Hybrid plants need clear metering, control and dispatch philosophy. How: Plant controller review, SCADA and metering advisory.
Wind-Solar Hybrid Review Scope
Wind and solar resource
Resource quality, correlation, seasonality and long-term production assumptions.
Hybrid yield
Gross/net generation, curtailment, shared losses and P50/P75/P90 input review.
Grid evacuation
Interconnection capacity, transmission, reactive power, voltage, protection and compliance.
Site and layout
Land, access, wind setbacks, solar layout, drainage and O&M interface.
Contracts and bankability
PPA profile, EPC scope, grid agreements, lender requirements and risk documentation.
