This study proposes a stochastic discounted cash flow model (DCF) to assess the economic viability of a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) in Brazil.
Source: JMK Research Auctions Completed In March 2025, a total of about 5587 MW of renewable energy (RE) capacity was allocated to various RE developers. Wind-solar hybrid
An unreliable grid is driving Brazilian energy storage demand. The world is set to have more than 760 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2030, led by Chinese and United States markets dominated by utility-scale systems.
This price variation is primarily driven by the complexity of integration, as hybrid systems must optimise solar and wind energy generation while incorporating energy storage and dispatchable energy management.

Brazil is set to conduct the country''s first-ever energy storage auction for adding batteries and storage systems to the national power grid.
Explore a comprehensive review of hybrid renewable energy systems, detailing their principles, types, applications, and environmental benefits.
Brazil''s power sector regulator Aneel announced last week that the country connected about 891.54 MW of solar, wind and hydropower capacity in January.
This paper investigates an economic analysis for a hypothetical existing hybrid energy system consisting of a wind farm and a pumped-storage hydropower plant (PSH).
The lifetime cost per kWh of new solar and wind capacity added in Europe in 2021 will average at least four to six times less than the marginal generating costs of fossil fuels in 2022. Globally,

NTPC Limited has now announced the winners of its 1200 MW solar-wind hybrid project tender. As per the details of the tender results, five companies won the tender in different capacities.
This price variation is primarily driven by the complexity of integration, as hybrid systems must optimise solar and wind energy generation while incorporating energy storage
Renewable hybrid systems with hydrogen are current economic unviable in Brazil. Green hydrogen produced from curtailment events are current economic not feasible. To produce hydrogen economically viable, the plants should operate above 3000 h. The CAPEX should cost less than USD 650/kWe to store hydrogen economically viable.
The model concludes that the solar and wind hybrid system for hydrogen production and storage is not yet viable in Brazil. In addition, the CAPEX of electrolysers and storage tanks and their operating losses are key points for the deployment of these systems.
Some studies, for example, already have demonstrated the feasibility of a levelized cost of hydrogen production through a renewable hybrid system [, , ]. An offshore wind hybrid system associated with hydrogen production only, given 10% curtailment, has shown a levelized cost of hydrogen of EUR 3.77/kg .
Other premises for the hybrid system are the cost for a high-pressure steel tank at 30 bar, which is around USD 300/Kg and operating costs are estimated at 1.5% of initial CAPEX, having a lifetime of 20 years . Also, it was adopted that the thank size is proportional to the electrolyser hydrogen capacity in kg of hydrogen during 15 h.
In the case of the production of green hydrogen, the costs are between USD 2.50–6.80/kg, while the current price of grey hydrogen production at USD 1–1.80/kg and blue hydrogen at USD 1.40–2.40/kg [3, 7, 20]. The most attractive production markets for green hydrogen are those with abundant and low-cost renewable resources [21, 22].
An offshore wind hybrid system associated with hydrogen production only, given 10% curtailment, has shown a levelized cost of hydrogen of EUR 3.77/kg . On the other hand , has found a levelized hydrogen cost of 4.07 USD/kg.
