A HYBRID POWER PLANT AND A METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A HYBRID POWER PLANT

The invention relates to a hybrid power plant for producing power to the electrical grid, the hybrid power plant comprising a plurality of energy assets; a first renewable power generating unit, such as wind turbine generators, a second renewable power generating unit, such as a plurality of solar power units, and an energy storage unit, such as a battery energy storage system. A power plant controller is arranged to perform a first comparison of an active power reference with an available power from the first and the second renewable power generating units and performing a second comparison of available charging, or discharging, capability of the energy storage unit with said first comparison. In response to this first comparison, there are distributed set points to the first and the second renewable power generating units so as to deliver power from the hybrid power plant in accordance with the received active power reference.
