    Abstract: According to embodiments described herein control of the auxiliary power system in a hybrid power plant is provided by determining a grid-draw threshold from an external power grid; monitoring power consumption for powered systems of the hybrid power plant; monitoring power generation of the hybrid power plant; discharging an alternative power source of one or more of an Energy Storage System (ESS) and an auxiliary generator in response to the power consumption exceeding the grid-draw threshold; and implementing prediction algorithms for power generation of the hybrid power plant and the power consumption. Accordingly, a source of power is managed between several alternative sources and the external power grid to meet plant operator defined criteria when maintaining power in various wind speed conditions.
