Green power generation using Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems & Wind Turbines integrated with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) represents a transformative approach to sustainable energy production. This hybrid configuration enables efficient harnessing of solar & wind energy while addressing its inherent intermittency through energy storage, thereby ensuring reliable and dispatchable power supply.
Solar PV modules convert sunlight and Wind Energy Generators installed onshore/offshore convert wind speed into electricity, while BESS stores excess energy generated during peak solar & windy hours for use during non-generation periods. Together, they form a resilient and flexible power generation system suitable for modern energy demands.
✔ Enhanced reliabillity & dispatchability for Grid stability and support.
✔ Solar Peak and Evening Peak Shifting / Renewable Firming / CUF & Revenue increase.
✔ Zero carbon footprint and supports decarbonization and sustainability goals.

✔ Reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
Performs detailed hourly Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) and Plane of Array (POA) Irrandiance calculation by evaluating actual factors like solar time, hour angle,
declination, Zenith Angle, Solar Azimuth and angle of Incidence using the inputs tilt angle, tracking, Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) and
Direct Horizontal Irradiance (DHI). (DNI & DHI are obtained from site solar hourly data generated by module.)
Using this hourly GHI value & POA Irradiance, hourly PV electricity generation is worked-out.
Similarly, the hourly wind speed and air density data generated by module, along with wind turbine input data (Rated Power,
Rated Speed, Rotar Diameter, Hub Height, cut-in/cut-out speeds, OEM power curve), are used to calculate wind shear exponent,
wind speed at Hub Height, density correction, Coefficient of Performance (Cp) and hourly wind electricity generated.
Based on the wind shear exponent value, the site terrain is validated. Based on the wind speed at Hub, module establishes Site Wind
Classification and Turbulence Classification as per IEC 61400-1, which will help in selecting correct wind turbine generator for the project.
Solution module intelligently balances charging and discharging sequence based on the power demand / delivery options namely Solar Peak and Evening Peak Shifting / Renewable Firming / CUF & Revenue increase and accordingly establishes the
annual charging cycles to evaluate the battery replacement life.
