Power of Flexibility | Facilitating the Energy Transition with Hybrid Hydropower Solutions

The objective for a hydropower hybrid is to take maximum advantage of the integrated technologies by maximizing their utilization, the benefits they bring, and their efficiency. It is widely known that stand-alone hydropower plants and other technologies can help manage thevariability of VRE in the power system. However, with increasing shares of VRE, there is also a growing importance of understanding the advantages to manage this variability before power is injected into the power system.
