An increase in the share of renewable energy sources characterized by intermittent generation leads to a decrease in the quality of electricity and the need to balance the load on the network. The methods used today for balancing the load on the generation side, as well as the use of energy storage technology, do not always provide an effective solution to the balancing problem. This is especially evident when traditional generators are transferred from the base load electricity sources to the reserve ones. The main issue is the increased electric energy losses due to the low efficiency of the power storage technology. Using the most advanced hybrid power plant Gorona del Viento (El Hierro island, Canary archipelago, Spain), which includes traditional and renewable energy sources, as reference, we are describing the methods of balancing the load on the network, which includes balancing, both the electricity generation and consumption. Using the calculation models of the hybrid power plant operating modes, the possibility of implementing various load balancing strategies on the consumption side has been demonstrated, their features have been analyzed, their effectiveness in reducing energy losses has been demonstrated.
