Hycon is a python-based tool for real-time hybrid power plant control. Hycon will primarily be run in simulation, although we intend that it could be used for physical plants in future.
Hycon provides plant-level (and hybrid plant-level) controls such as wake steering control, spatial filtering/consensus, active power control, and coordinated control of hybrid power plant assets; and creates an entry point for the development of more advanced controllers.
Hycon will interface with various simulation testbeds and lower level controllers, including:
Hycon controllers will also call on design tools such as FLORIS.
Hycon is primarily developed with the support from the U.S. Department of Energy and is part of the WETO Software Stack. For more information and other integrated modeling software, see:
NLR's software record for Hycon is SWR-25-54.
