This study provides insight into the key enablers affecting the flexibility of grids. The intermittency and unpredictability of renewable technologies has led power suppliers to invest in smart and flexible grid solutions. Investments in technological developments will also ensure grid flexibility during voltage dips and capacity overloads. Grid fl...

The power generation market in Europe has witnessed a challenging period over the past 3 years following the global financial crisis. It continues to face a very stagnant and difficult period. Power producers are still running their coal-fired plants rather than immediately investing in gas-fired generation. Therefore, the European power plant serv...

Energy security is the key demand driver for onsite stand-by power needs in the European region. Grid instability and power outages due to the capacity overload in the Eastern countries along with the stand-by demand for intermittent renewable power sources in Western regions continue to drive the need for onsite power generation technology such as...

Turkeys renewable energy market is posed for rapid expansion as the country is pushing to reach its ambitious 2022 target for renewable energy deployment. As the energy demand is forecast to continue growing, a strong mix of local and international participants has emerged to put the government plants into reality. The development in certain marke...

Renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly and globally promoted. Due to their intermittent nature, however, renewable energy sources cannot be utilised as and when needed. Hence, an energy storage system becomes crucial to fully utilise renewable power. An energy storage facility acts as a buffer during peak demand; further, it improves...

This research service is an assessment of the procurement trends and strategies of key utilities for fossil powered and renewable power plants in Europe. The work is an evaluation of current market drivers for investment as well as approaches to risk mitigation in light of the current economic crisis. Emphasis is placed on the recent decision to de...

Meeting energy needs while achieving security of supply and minimising carbon emissions are key challenges facing most countries. Although nuclear is gaining support in Europe, its significance varies among European countries. While some states are not willing to take risks and are opposed to nuclear (such as Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Belgium...

Electric vehicles are causing a huge demand for electric energy on a mass commercial scale. A utility must plan accordingly to handle the additional demand caused by the increasing use of these vehicles. The strategies adopted by such utilities, along with the process through which an EV is connected to the grid, is discussed in this deliverable. I...

This deliverable tracks the recent developments in the transformerless UPS technology, its benefits, development life cycle, pricing trends, industry perception, demand patterns in developed and emerging economies, revenue forecasts, and a brief comparison with transformer-based UPS in the European geographic region. The market potential of incorpo...
