Natural gas combined cycle power plant aggregated with battery: a flexible hybrid solution providing enhanced frequency and balancing services
The growth of renewable sources and the consequent complexity in the management of the electric grid draw a scenario in which the traditional fossil fuel power plants are asked to improve their performances to continue playing a primary role for the stability of the grid and the safety of the energy...
