As renewables increasingly displace traditional baseload generation the greater the need becomes to shore up the grid’s stability with balancing capacity. Energy producers need to invest in flexible technologies that provide fast-ramping balancing power that can be scaled up as the share of renewables in the power system increases.
Wärtsilä’s flexible and scalable balancing solutions quickly ramp up whenever renewables aren’t generating enough electricity – providing the necessary balancing power to keep the grid stable.
This visual case study, based on real-world data from South Australia's national electricity market, showcases the engine power plant's unmatched flexibility when comparing to an aeroderivative gas turbine power plant in full operation.
