• Why Hybrids?
• Hybrid Study
• Conclusions
Hybrid Systems Definition
A hybrids program
can create market
opportunities for
emerging
technologies before Hybrid System
Applications
they are mature. Power Village Power
Quality Power Parks
Hybrid Systems Premise
Hybrid System
Value Propositions:
Renewables
High Efficiency Fossil Fuel
Generators
Storage High Reliability
Power Electronics
Low Emissions
Acceptable Cost
• Assemble Team
• Inventory DOE activities
• Identify potential hybrid combinations (the matrix)
• Evaluate new opportunities for hybrids and identify
R&D needs
• Produce two reports in CY 2001
– Recommendations for Hybrid Power Program
– Report to Congress on Partnerships
Current Hybrid Activities in OPT
• SEGS I-IX
– Concentrating Solar Power
trough plants tied to grid in
Southern CA since late 1980’s
– Total generating capacity:
354 MW
– Up to 25% natural gas fired
• Benefit of hybrid system:
– Allows dispatchable generation (including periods when the
sun does not shine) while maximizing renewable resource
usage
Pieces of the Puzzle
Fossil Fuel Engines Fuel Cells
– IC Engine – Solid Oxide
– Stirling Engine – PEM
– Rankine Engine Cycle – Phosphoric Acid
– Molten Carbonate
– Brayton Turbine
– Microturbine Storage
Renewables – Lead acid batteries
– PV, Concentrating PV – Flow batteries
– Solar Hot Water – Reversible fuel cells
– Concentrating Solar Power – Ultra-capacitors
• Trough – SMES
• Dish – Flywheels
– Wind – Thermal
– Geothermal – CAES
– Hydro CHP
