First Wind-Solar Hybrid Generation System in China Formally Put into Commercial Operation

On December 8, 2004, the first wind-solar hybrid generation system in China was successfully connected with the local 10KV power grid at Huaneng Nan’ao Wind Farm and formally put into commercial operation. The 100KW solar photovoltaic equipment used for the system is the first solar photovoltaic system of China now connected with the power grid and put into commercial operation. During the test, the local power grid management department found the quality of the photovoltaic electric energy fully meets the state standard. The successful construction of the demonstration project has opened up a new channel of combining wind energy with solar energy resources and is a sign that China has entered a new stage in its development and utilization of solar photovoltaic generation. It will provide technical and managerial experience that can be used for reference in the construction of large-scale commercial wind-solar hybrid projects.
