Hybrid Power Plants for Energy Resilience: A Case Study

Summary

The challenge is to enhance the resilience and sustainability of distributed grids, particularly given the underutilization of distributed wind power. This study, conducted as a case study in rural Iowa, explores how hybrid power plants incorporating distributed wind, solar, and battery storage can improve grid resilience by consistently meeting critical loads and providing value during outages. The research is in progress, demonstrating through simulation the significant benefits and economic value such systems could offer in mitigating impacts from extreme weather events.
