Energy solutions for electric power plants

Electric power plants play a major role in a country’s economy. They are intended to supply electricity for all activities, enterprises and consumers. Nuclear, thermal, hydraulic, solar or wind power plants must all be capable of functioning 24/7 and guaranteeing a stable electricity supply.

Power cuts in this sector have serious impacts on the population and the enterprises that depend on it. In addition, serious safety issues must be taken into consideration regarding power supplies of sensitive infrastructures, such as nuclear power plants.

It is vitally important to install well-adapted backup energy production solutions, in order to prevent any incidents and guarantee the uninterrupted supply of electricity. They can cope with interruptions in production caused by bad weather, faulty equipment or natural disasters. In the event of a total loss of current, the electricity supply for the equipment and security systems in electric power plants can be maintained, so that activity can be resumed as quickly as possible and under the best possible conditions.

While some electric power plants operate in parallel with the local electricity distribution grid, others function independently. These electric power plants can supply electricity to isolated sites that have unreliable or no connections with the electricity grid. They deliver a reliable and continuous main electricity supply that meets the needs of certain sectors of activity.

These standalone and decentralised electric power plants are also useful for renewable energy networks. Faced with the rise in energy demand and the need to cut emissions, the energy mix is shifting towards “clean” energies, without compromising the stability of energy supplies. These power plants can compensate for the variations in the production of solar, hydraulic or wind electricity. Consequently, microgrids are emerging as an alternative solution to centralised electricity grids. They are capable of producing energy locally by combining diesel gensets and renewable energy generators, such as solar panels, wind turbines and hydraulic power plants. These microgrids can also store energy in batteries, which is then distributed through the local grid.
