Hercules is an open-source tool for wind-based hybrid plant simulation in real time. Hercules is emulated a wind farm co-simulated other generation to form a hybrid plant that can include solar, storage and electrolyzers. The entire hybrid plant can be controlled using the Wind Hybrid Open Controller (WHOC).
Hercules is primarily developed with the support of the U.S. Department of Energy and is part of the WETO Software Stack. For more information and other integrated modeling software, see:
