Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling operation of wind turbine generators (WTGs) in a hybrid power plant including both WTGs and PV modules. The method includes steps of: monitoring at least one operating parameter for one or more of the WTGs; monitoring at least one operating parameter for one or more of the PV modules; and controlling operation of the WTGs in dependence on the monitored operating parameters in order to control blade shadows cast by the WTGs on the PV modules and thereby optimise the power output of the PV modules, for example by reducing the blade shadow area cast on the PV modules.
