Enhancing Combustion Turbine Capabilities for 21st Century Power Markets

April 18, 2018

The push for higher percentages of renewable sources in the fuel mix has in-creased one attribute of the power supply system operators have worked diligently to eliminate: uncertainty. By their very nature, renewable energy sources are variable, with production output changing as weather conditions at the generation site change, variability is inherently uncertain. This variability means that grid operators cannot rely on the forecasted output of renewable sources in the same way they can rely on the forecasted output of fossil and nuclear-fueled sources.
