Power plant start up time
one hour!!!
Solar PV production
Wind production
Grid stability
Rise in energy demand
Drop in wind production
But we need even more
• Ramp up per wind turbine =
0.625 MW/hr
• The Netherlands has 2500 MW
installed
• Germany has 29075 MW
installed
Needed ramp up:
• For the Netherlands 520 MW/hr
• For Germany 6057 MW/hr

More flexibility
But to improve flexibility
we must:
• Understand the power
plant
• The critical components
• The interaction
between components
• Learn tricks to bypass
critical components
