Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a system and method for dynamically controlling classes of assets in a hybrid generation power plant. In one example, the system may include a plurality of classes of power assets with at least one class comprising a non-renewable power source and at least one class comprising a renewable power source, and a power controller configured to manage a class of power assets from among the plurality of classes, the power controller including a pre-processing module configured to dynamically shape an error being fed into a respective power source of the class of power assets, and an asset control module configured to dynamically adjust a power setpoint of the respective power source of the class of power assets.

Abstract: A hybrid power system (100) comprising a wind turbine (102) having a wind turbine generator and a power converter, and one or more DC power sources (104). The hybrid power system is configured to prioritize active power output over reactive power capability when the wind turbine is not operating, and is further configured to prioritize reactive power capability over active power output when the wind turbine is operating and wind speed is above a predetermined threshold. Methods for operating a hybrid power system are also provided.

Abstract: A standby system includes a pump, a heater, a sensor, and a controller. The pump is fluidly coupled to a power source and configured to convey a coolant therethrough. The heater is thermally coupled to the coolant and configured to impart an amount of heat into the coolant. The sensor is thermally coupled to the coolant. The controller is operatively coupled to the heater and the sensor. The controller configured to receive a plurality of signals over time from the sensor, determine a temperature profile based on the plurality of signals, compare the temperature profile to a predetermined temperature profile, modulate the heater to increase the amount of heat in response to the temperature profile being relatively more shallow than the predetermined temperature profile, and modulate the heater to decrease the amount of heat in response to the temperature profile being relatively steeper than the predetermined temperature profile.
