Industry: Electric power generation
ISSUE
As the need for decarbonized power sources grows, so does the demand for proven, reliable and flexible solutions
Power plants must respond to the needs of a society and market that are both moving towards decarbonization. The increase in renewable energies has been accompanied by a growing need for flexible power sources that can respond to change in an agile way. In the future, conversion to other fuels like hydrogen and ammonia must also be considered, making it necessary to account for modifications incorporated as available technology continues to advance.
