MORE THAN JUST A TREND
What does hybrid renewable technology bring to the power generation industry?
Renewable Energy Hybrids are the solution to a reliable, affordable and dispatchable integration of renewable energies, driving the transition to a clean energy future.
By integrating renewable energy generation sources with one another (i.e. Wind + Solar) and/or energy storage, dispatchable, competitive green MWhs can be enabled through intelligent plant and system design, software & controls, and O&M synergies.

OUTCOMES
Customer success stories
Solar + Storage, USA
GE Renewable Energy is working with Helios Energy to integrate two energy and solar systems together. Ultimately, this hybrid power solution will improve solar yield and system efficiency while also enabling dispatchable renewable energy into the grid.
Wind + Solar, USA
Juhl Energy Inc. is aiming to integrate hybrid wind and solar generation to provide a continuous supply of energy, creating a small amount of power but proving a big asset to its community.
Wind + Storage, Ireland
GE helped launch Tullahennel, the world’s first hybrid wind project with integrated power storage. This project adds wind into the hybrid energy mix by stabilizing its power supply when the wind isn’t blowing.
Gas + Storage (EGT), USA
In the Los Angeles Basin, GE Renewable Energy partnered with SERC to help integrate a hybrid Battery Energy Storage system with two gas turbines, creating increased reliability for the area.
