Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing a program which, when executed by one or more processors, performs an operation, comprising:
controlling a power plant controller to communicate with a plurality of energy assets of a hybrid power plant, the power plant controller being arranged for receiving an active power reference;
performing a first comparison of said active power reference with an available power from a first renewable power generating unit of the hybrid power plant and a second renewable power generating unit of the hybrid power plant, wherein the available power is defined by power which a given renewable power generating unit is able to produce, wherein the first renewable power generating unit comprises a plurality of wind turbine generators and the second renewable power generating unit comprises a plurality of solar power units;
performing a second comparison of an available charging, or discharging, capability of an energy storage unit with a result of said first comparison, and distributing a corresponding set point to said energy storage unit; said energy storage unit comprising a battery energy storage system, said energy storage unit being capable of storing energy from said first and second renewable power generating units, and delivering power to an electrical grid when required; and
distributing set points to said first renewable power generating unit and said second renewable power generating unit, respectively, in response to the result of said first comparison, so as to deliver power from the hybrid power plant in accordance with the received active power reference, and
wherein the power plant controller is further arranged for distributing set points to at least one of said first renewable power generating unit and said second renewable power generating unit, respectively, that are above the available power from said first renewable power generating unit and said second renewable power generating unit.
