The DTU tool for design, control and optimization of utility scale Hybrid Power- and Energy Plants inluding wind, solar, storage and P2X technologies.
- Hydesign is a non-linear model for evaluating HPP projects including:
- Wind turbine selection
- Wake losses that depend on the number of turbines and the installation density of the wind plant
- Internal energy management system operation of the plant. The operation of the HPP plant is designed in an ideal scenario without degradation and a actual operation that can include degradation of the battery, or PV plant, as well as forecast errors in wind, solar and spot prices.
- Non-linear battery degradation
- Detailed cost models for wind, solar and Li-ion battery
- Detailed financial model based on weighted costs of capital per technology
- P2X capability with power to Hydrogen
