Hybrid Systems#
SAM’s hybrid system models combine two or more power generation subsystems with battery storage. SAM runs a simulation for each subsystem, and adds the subsystem generation profiles together to calculate hybrid system’s generation profile. It then dispatches the battery based on the hybrid generation profile.
The available hybrid system configurations are:
PVWatts Wind Battery
PVWatts Wind Fuel Cell Battery
Photovoltaic Wind Battery
Custom Generation PVWatts Wind Fuel Cell Battery
