Balancing power for grid stability
The critical role of balancing power and ensuring grid stability compliance
Whitepaper "The balancing act"
Powering the future: how balancing power supports clean energy
As the global energy landscape rapidly shifts towards renewables, power grids face unprecedented challenges in maintaining stability and reliability. Balancing power, the ability to quickly adjust electricity supply to meet fluctuating demand, is becoming a critical component in ensuring uninterrupted power delivery.
This whitepaper explores how innovative balancing power solutions are enabling grid operators to integrate variable renewable energy sources while minimising costs and emissions.
Here's what you will learn:
- The importance of balancing power in managing supply-demand fluctuations
- Economic and operational trade-offs in balancing power investments
- Emerging technologies: fast-ramping engines, hybrid power, V2G, and smart grids
- A five-year roadmap for grid operators to enhance flexibility and compliance
- Real-world case study: Aggreko’s 150 MW modular power plant stabilizing the Luzon grid
- Regulatory and market mechanisms driving energy transition
