Keynote: Enhancing Grid Flexibility with Gas Turbines in the Age of Renewables

Abstract:

With the rise of renewable energy sources, Gas Turbines (GTs) are undergoing a transformation that requires increased flexibility.

Fueled by the growth of renewables, grid modernization efforts, and government decarbonization policies, GTs are adapting to reduced operating hours, which presents challenges and opportunities.

Ansaldo Energia is meeting these challenges head-on by embracing innovation, diversification, and a service-oriented approach to excel in the evolving energy landscape.

Ansaldo’s GTs prioritize high flexibility with rapid ramp rates and lowest Minimum Environmental Load (MEL) to bolster grid reliability, security, and resilience in effectively managing the volatility of renewables.
