HYBRID Module
Financial analysis for wind & solar
The HYBRID module in windPRO enables you to evaluate the financial feasibility of combining different energy technologies like wind, and solar.
By integrating electricity market prices and behind-the-meter consumption you can assess how to maximise revenue, optimise system performance, reduce dependence on the grid, and ensure effective use of grid capacity.
Maximise profitability with hybrid renewable energy projects
Combine Technologies
-
Combine Wind & Solar
Model a hybrid power system using time series data from wind farms, solar PV, or external sources. Evaluate how different technologies complement each other to meet energy demands. -
Behind-the-Meter Optimisation
Explore how self-consumption and grid import/export can boost profitability by using electricity where and when it's most valuable.
Optimise System Design and Scale
- Find the Most Profitable Mix
Determine the ideal sizes for wind farms, solar PV arrays, and grid connection to maximise return on investment. - Adapt to Complex Financing
Include taxes, subsidies, loan repayments, interest rates, and cash flows to fully understand the economic landscape of your project. - Include time varying grid tariffs
Comprehensive Financial Modeling
Use the integrated cost models to compute:- LCOE (Levelised Cost of Energy)
- IRR (Internal Rate of Return)
- NPV (Net Present Value)
Assess Electricity Prices
Incorporate spot market price time series to determine the value of your power production at each moment. Decide whether to sell to the grid or consume on-site.
Seamless Time Series-Based Calculations
All energy production and financial calculations are based on time series data for:
- Power output (wind/solar)
- Energy demands
- Electricity prices
This ensures a realistic, time-specific evaluation of system performance across different scenarios.
All-in-One Platform for the Energy Transition
- Combine technologies: Wind, Solar, Prices, and Demand
- Evaluate hybrid systems connected to internal or external grids
- Include optional fossil fuel sources for backup or transition modeling
The HYBRID module supports your shift to a sustainable, resilient, and profitable energy future.
Why use the HYBRID module?
- Design and evaluate hybrid renewable energy systems
- Run accurate financial feasibility studies using real-world data
- Support your move toward a cleaner, more flexible energy system
