The operation of the HPP plant is designed in an ideal scenario without degradation and a actual operation that can include degradation of the battery, or PV plant, as well as forecast errors in wind, solar and spot prices. - Non-linear battery degradation - Detailed cost models for wind, solar and Li-ion battery - Detailed financial model based on weighted costs of capital per technology ## How to cite If you make use of HyDesign please cite this paper, which inludes a detailed description of the methodology applied in the framework: ``` @Article{wes-2023-83, AUTHOR = {Murcia Leon, J.
