Grid Balancing

The transition to renewable energy is essential for reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. However, grid balancing with variable renewable energy sources requires advanced energy management solutions. While battery storage and other energy storage technologies continue to evolve, they remain costly and have limited capacity. Without sufficient storage, grid balancing must occur in real-time, often requiring curtailment of renewable energy generation to prevent grid overload.

A Renewable Future

Grid balancing in Europe depends on advanced technologies, market dynamics, and cross-border collaboration. Maintaining a stable 50 Hz frequency requires continuous alignment between electricity supply and demand. As the share of solar and wind power increases, grid balancing becomes more complex due to their weather-dependent and unpredictable nature compared to traditional power plants and hydropower facilities.

Power-To-Heat

Power-to-Heat (P2H) plays a crucial role in grid balancing by converting excess electricity into heat using electric boilers. This stored heat can be used in district heating networks, industrial processes, or building heating. By leveraging Power-to-Heat technology, grid balancing becomes more efficient, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
