Overview
In 2015, Renewable Energies began planning a stand-alone wind power station. Then a BESS was added. Later, as more equity partners were recruited, a solar power station was also added. Through a synchronized mechanism, the hybrid power station is expected to provide a steady 128 MW of dispatchable power from 5am until 9.30pm every day. The single-point synchronization system is reported to employ AI and machine learning.
