Claim 13:
14. A controller configured to control operation of a hybrid power plant comprising at least one wind turbine generator (WTG) and at least one photovoltaic (PV) module, wherein at least one of the PV modules is at a location within the hybrid power plant that is affected by blade shadows; the controller, comprising:
a memory containing instructions; and
one or more processors which, when executing the instructions, are configured to:
monitor at least one operating parameter for one or more of the WTGs;
monitor at least one operating parameter for one or more of the PV modules; and
control operation of the WTGs in dependence on the at least one operating parameter monitored for the WTGs and the at least one operating parameter monitored for the PV modules in order to control blade shadows cast by the WTGs on the PV modules and thereby optimise a power output of the PV module.
