This presentation addresses the development prospects and challenges of hybrid power plants in Finland. The significant increase in wind and solar power, as well as customers' desire to connect battery energy storages (BESS) to the grid, poses challenges for the construction needs and pace of the grid. Hybrid power plants have been seen as one solution to use the grid more efficiently by reducing the need for new, separate connection lines. Another promising development direction is the integration of grid-forming (GFM) BESS into hybrid power plants as this helps traditional grid-following (GFL) power electronic interfaced plants, such as wind power plants, to operate stably in a converter dominated power system. However, the technical complexity of hybrid power plants slows down their construction and increases costs, which is reflected in challenges in coordinating the interfaces of different equipment suppliers and e.g. creating simulation models for the plants.
