VDE Study: Energy Shift Towards Renewables Needs Back-up by Flexible Conventional Power Plants « German Energy Blog

VDE Study: Energy Shift Towards Renewables Needs Back-up by Flexible Conventional Power Plants « German Energy Blog: "Last year’s energy policy shift away from nuclear power towards a renewable energy supply needs to be backed up by a fleet of flexible conventional power plants, a study by Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (VDE) concludes.


Only flexible conventional power plants were capable during the transition period to balance capacity shortages of grids, storage facilities and renewable energies and thus ensure a safe and reliable power supply, the VDE study “Renewable Energies Need Flexible Power Plants” says. For the study energy experts developed and assessed electricity generation scenarios up to 2020."
