Heat & Power Generation

Power has become essential to our civilization. The recent technical developments have made it possible to increase the share of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, limiting their major drawback to their intermittency. The lack of sufficient storage capacity makes fossil fuel and nuclear sources still mandatory as part of the energy picture in order to maintain grid stability and electricity affordability in some regions.
