Steam Power Plants
Steam Power Plants are critical elements of any network’s generation portfolio, but they are often punished for their inflexibility. With increased intermittent renewables, more volatility in the electricity markets, and increasing uncertainty in future revenues, steam power plants are turning to the thermal battery to render their fleets more responsive to an increasingly complex grid. The thermal battery gives steam power plants the capability of ramping up/down as fast as a battery, increasing its peak power output and enabling operation at lower load, without being limited by the boiler.
