HYBRID Module
Financial analysis for wind, solar & storage systems
The HYBRID module in windPRO enables you to evaluate the financial feasibility of combining different energy technologies like wind, solar, and storage.
By integrating electricity market prices, behind-the-meter consumption, and storage solutions, you can assess how to maximize revenue, optimize system performance, and reduce dependence on the grid.
Maximize profitability with hybrid renewable energy projects
Combine Technologies
-
Combine Wind, Solar & Storage
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 Optimization
Explore how self-consumption, grid import/export, and energy storage strategies can boost profitability by using electricity where and when it's most valuable.
Optimize System Design and Scale
- Find the Most Profitable Mix
Determine the ideal sizes for wind farms, solar PV arrays, and energy storage units to maximize return on investment. - Adapt to Complex Tariffs and Financing
Include taxes, subsidies, loan repayments, interest rates, and cash flows to fully understand the economic landscape of your project.
Comprehensive Financial Modeling
Use the integrated cost model to compute:- LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy)
- IRR (Internal Rate of Return)
- NPV (Net Present Value)
Assess Electricity Prices in Real Time
Incorporate spot market price time series to determine the value of your power production at each moment. Decide whether to sell to the grid, store energy, or consume on-site.
Model Storage Systems
Simulate how battery storage affects power availability and financial performance. Optimize energy usage during low production or peak demand periods.
Optimize System Design and Scale
- Find the Most Profitable Mix
Determine the ideal sizes for wind farms, solar PV arrays, and energy storage units to maximize return on investment. - Adapt to Complex Tariffs and Financing
Include taxes, subsidies, loan repayments, interest rates, and cash flows to fully understand the economic landscape of your project.
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, Storage, 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
- Maximize income through smart storage and pricing strategies
- Run accurate financial feasibility studies using real-world data
- Support your move toward a cleaner, more flexible energy system
