Best is not to use any fuel at all…
Renewables are quickly becoming the new baseload.
Characteristic of renewables Variable, non-dispatchable generation Reduce load of other power plants & distort the net load curve Forecast errors on generation side
Wind power
Follows weather patterns, not human daily life cycles
Minute-to-hourly output fluctuations ramping constraints
Accurately forecastable only 1...n hours ahead
Solar power Follows the human daily life & load pattern, except evening peak
Second-to-minute output fluctuations Rapid frequency deviations
Easier to forecast than wind power
NEED FOR FLEXIBILITY IN POWER SYSTEMS

Practical impacts on power systems
• CCGT´s – first to suffer!
• Running hours drop from base load to intermittent.
• Average load drops. Inreasing number of (daily) starts and stops.
• Pulse-operation (uneconomical for CCGT).
• Forecasting operation cycles (planning) gets increasingly difficult.
• Coal and nuclear power plants – next in line to suffer...
• Not able to stop and start loss-making minimum load operation to
”hang on”.
• Main reason for renewable curtailment.

A REMNANT FROM LAST CENTURY
• Coal on its own is a value proposition “from the last century” because:• More polluting than other alternatives• Higher CO2 production per MWh generated • Low efficiency Rankine cycle• Not a flexible technology• Not suitable for cycling• Does not combine well with increasing intermittent renewable generation
• Coal power plants are expensive to build:• High capex (4-6 times more than simple cycle gas engines)• Each power plant designed case by case, no standard solutions• Very long and unpredictable construction times
• Difficult to finance in today’s world
• Coal with biomass is a better proposition• Burn waste from sugar production (bagasse)• Emissions still a concern

DENTON CASE
• City of Denton in Texas is closing down their coal power plant and replacing the capacity with quick starting gas engine power plant
• kWh generated by intermittent wind power are cheaper than coal
• Gas power plant will enable more renewables (from 41% to 70%) and decrease electricity rate for consumers
• For details see http://www.renewabledentonplan.com

CITY OF DENTON CASE
• Ultra-flexible Smart Power Generationbased on Wärtsilä gas engines
• Simple cycle 225 MW
• Full load in less than 5 minutes
• Enables Denton to buy 70% renewableenergy
• Electricity costs go down

LNG SUPPLY ALTERNATIVES FOR CENTRAL AMERICA
1. Supply agreement with a portfolio player
• Example Energia del Pacífico’s agreement with Shell
• More interest in smaller scale agreements
2. Reload from existing LNG terminals
• SPEC FSRU in Cartagena, Colombia
• AES Dominican Republic, later also AES Panama
3. Supply agreement with smaller scale regional liquefaction
facilities, such as Eagle LNG (Jacksonville, Florida)
• Direct supply from source
Smaller scale LNG deliveries are now possible and multiple options available.
