Hybrid wind-solar inverters

This invention describes a system that takes electricity from different sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, and combines them. It then converts this combined power into the type of electricity used by the main power grid, sending it out based on instructions from the grid itself. The specific method outlined also involves charging a battery with some of the incoming power and continuously checking how much power is available from the sources.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in battery energy density and grid-interactive inverter control. The claims' focus on battery integration and grid signaling is now supported by more efficient and cost-effective power electronics and control systems.
