Abstract
A hybrid energy system includes a (GTG) configured to provide a full-load power output and a storage device configured to store energy. The hybrid energy system includes a generator step-up transformer, wherein the GTG and the storage device are electrically co-located on a low side of the generator step-up transformer.
Claims20
A hybrid energy system, comprising:
- a generator step-up transformer;
- a gas turbine generator (GTG) configured to provide a full-load power output;
- and
- a storage device configured to store energy, wherein the GTG and the storage device are electrically co-located on a low side of the generator step-up transformer.

A hybrid energy system, comprising:
- a generator step-up transformer;
- a gas turbine generator (GTG) configured to provide a full-load power output and having a minimum power output of less than 5% of the full-load power output;
- and
- a storage device configured to store energy, wherein:
- the GTG and the storage device are electrically co-located on a low side of the generator step-up transformer, and
- a stored energy capacity of the storage device is at least about 5% of the full-load power output up to about 100% of the full-load power output.
