Flexible and climate-friendly power The ability to combine power sources, and to prioritise sources that meet the load demand while also complying with other key operator requirements, makes a hybrid solution very flexible – and potentially climate-friendly. For example, the system can be configured to prioritise renewables whenever possible, switching to fossil power only when renewable production is not sufficient. It is this ability to flexibly combine power sources that makes hybrid power solutions both sustainable and reliable. DEIF control solutions add to this flexibility by facilitating quick system reconfiguration, letting you scale and redesign your solution as required. Supporting your operational strategies There are many ways of using hybrid power solutions to support your operational strategies. Here are a couple of examples: • You can use an energy storage system (ESS), for example a battery, to store renewable power for later, using it to run on clean power when renewable production drops, or reserving it for instant spinning reserve or peak shaving capability. • You can run your gensets at their optimal duty point by combining them with other power sources. This lowers genset fuel consumption and carbon emissions, and it will usually also prolong service intervals and reduce the risk of issues. Intelligent control is key The key to realising all of these benefits is intelligent, scalable, and effective system control. To combine the power sources in your hybrid solution and continuously adapt power supply to load demand while prioritising clean power, you need compatible, interconnected controllers that support your operational requirements. 5
