Proposed Preferential Topics of the Workshop
This Workshop aims at reconciling 2 different approaches to the term Hybrid Power System:
1. Hybrid Power/Energy Systems (HESs)
Combination of different types of generation, storage, and consumption technologies in a single system with at least one type of generation being renewable, including systems that are 100% based on renewable energy [e.g., solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind], or combine different energy storage systems (e.g., BESSs, fuel cells, and supercapacitors). Typically found on islands and remote places such as mines.
- Hybrid Power System Technologies and Design (Island Power Systems)
- Project Experience and Case Studies: Hybrid Power Systems
- System Modelling and Simulation: Hybrid Power Systems
- Pico-/Mini-/Micro-Grid Systems Design
- Intelligent Control and Grid Stabilization
- Managing Variability and Uncertainty
- Load Assessment Strategies
- Standards and relevant Grid Codes for Hybrid Power Systems
- Regulatory Challenges related to Hybrid Power Systems
- Protection Issues for Hybrid Power Systems
- Design of Energy Management Systems for Hybrid Power Systems
- Economic Evaluation of Hybrid Power Systems
- Ancillary Services in Hybrid Power Systems
- Hydrogen and Hybrid Power Systems
- AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Hybrid Power Systems
2. Hybrid Power Plants (HPPs)
Power-generating facilities combining variable renewable energy sources (e.g. wind and solar), with or without storage, and sharing the same substation/point of common coupling. This workshop looks into such issues as how to maximize the utilisation of the grid connection capacity, how to establish HPPs in the regulatory framework (network codes) or how to develop control concepts to maximize renewable energy feed.
