Conventional Generation
Conventional power generation from fossil fuels has long been the main source of energy worldwide.
Although the transition to renewable and sustainable energy sources
is increasingly evident and necessary, conventional generation still plays an important role in the energy transition for several reasons:
- Complementing renewable energy: Conventional generation complements renewable energy. Given the intermittency of renewables, mainly solar and wind, and until there are large amounts of storage, it will be essential to have conventional energy sources to provide constant energy when renewable energy generation is low and in order to provide stability to the grid.
- Back-up systems: Conventional generation can provide a backup power source in the event of renewable energy supply fails. This is particularly important in emergency situations, such as during blackouts or natural disasters.
Conventional power generation will therefore
Remain important in the energy transition because of its ability to complement renewable energy, providing manageable backup power.
In this regard, at ASIGEN we are experts in designing the most advanced combined cycle facilities with the highest possible efficiency as well as peaker plants with the required operational flexibility to cope with the highly different energy mixes that the energy transition will bring.
