Hybrid power are combinations between different technologies to produce power.
In power engineering, the term 'hybrid' describes a combined power and energy storage system.[1]
Examples of power producers used in hybrid power are photovoltaics, wind turbines, and various types of engine-generators ā e.g. diesel gen-sets.[2]
Hybrid power plants often contain a renewable energy component (such as PV) that is balanced via a second form of generation or storage such as a diesel genset, fuel cell or battery storage system. They can also provide other forms of power such as heat for some applications.[3][4]
