caption_attribution_description: English: A 2 horsepower vertical gasoline or kerosine engine belted to a 900 watt compound-wound 32 volt dynamo (DC generator), powering a maximum of 42 20-watt or 50 15-watt 32-volt tungsten lamps. The storage battery has 16 cells supplying up to 4.5 amps of power for 7.5 hours at 32 volts. This can supply 7 20-watt bulbs or 9 15-watt bulbs for 7.5 hours. The switchboard is arranged so as to give 24 hours a day continuous service. It is customary to run the engine for most of the lighting period and just use the batteries late at night.

context_page_description: Hybrid power are combinations between different technologies to produce power.
  In power engineering, the term 'hybrid' describes a combined power and energy storage system. It does not mean a "method," such as the popular use of hybrid to mean a hybrid electric vehicle like the Toyota Prius. Although the drive train in the Toyota Prius can accurately be described as a hybrid power system.
  Examples of power producers used in hybrid power are photovoltaics, wind turbines, and various types of engine-generators – e.g. diesel gen-sets.
  Hybrid power plants often contain a renewable energy component that is balanced via a second form of generation or storage such as a diesel genset, fuel cell or battery storage system. They can also provide other forms of power such as heat for some applications.
