Hybrid solar dispatch for plant operators

PV inverters and battery converters exchange operating values through the selected site-control interfaces. Software divides the requested output between the two technologies and executes configured production schedules.

About Hybrid solar dispatch for plant operators

A shared grid connection needs coordinated output from solar generation and battery storage. GreenPowerMonitor supplies its Hybrid Energy Management System to distribute the requested active-power setpoint between PV inverters and battery equipment. The arrangement integrates with GPM SCADA, the power plant controller and selected third-party systems. Operators choose the control mode for the represented hybrid plant and its point of interconnection.

Compatible plant interfaces exchange operating values and commands with the connected equipment. In coordinated control, the application follows the requested output while prioritising available PV generation. Battery-priority modes provide alternative ways of assigning power, and selected frequency-response or irradiance-ramp modes change the battery contribution for those conditions. Charge balancing adjusts active-power commands at the power-conversion subsystem level.

The scheduler executes predefined commands from a CSV file at their assigned times. Dispatcher functions use generation forecasts, while selected optimizer services combine PV forecasts and market-price inputs when creating active-power schedules. Control room teams review the chosen mode and scheduled actions as they manage the represented solar and storage equipment. These integrated services bring output allocation, battery charge handling and production scheduling into the same hybrid-site operating arrangement.

How it works

Sense
Read solar output and battery operating or charge values.
Connect
Exchange values and commands through compatible plant interfaces.
Analyze
Allocate requested output across PV and battery control modes.
Act
Execute selected schedules and converter power commands.

Questions and answers

How is the interconnection power request shared between PV and battery equipment?

The power plant controller sets the requested active power at the interconnection. The hybrid application distributes that setpoint between PV inverters and battery converters under the selected operating mode.

What distinguishes coordinated PV control from the irradiance-ramp mode?

Coordinated control follows the requested output while prioritising available PV generation. Irradiance-ramp control uses the battery to compensate for selected solar-output fluctuations against the set ramp rate.

What input does the hybrid scheduler use for timed commands?

It executes predefined commands from a CSV file at assigned times. Dispatcher and optimizer services add selected generation forecasts and market inputs for other scheduling functions.
