About the project
My thesis aims to analyze the potential influence of integrating photovoltaic (PV) technology and energy storage systems (ESS) on the value of current wind power parks. It will evaluate the technical feasibility, economic viability, and overall effectiveness of hybrid Wind-PV-ESS power plants as opposed to standalone wind power parks. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the advantages and constraints of incorporating PV and ESS with wind power plants, and to identify their possible impact on the assets' value.
