Renewable energy sources are gaining an increasingly larger share of power generation. However, the intermittent nature of wind and solar energy requires flexible solutions to balance the grid during periods of reduced generation. Historically, thermal power plants based on fossil fuel combustion have provided this controllable energy supply. In the future, their role will be different. While short-term flexibility may…
