Power plants

Electricity is normally produced in a generator which can be powered in various ways. Modern power plants use turbines driven by steam, gas, water or wind. Earlier power plants used steam or diesel engines to drive the generator. The choice of technology and motive power is determined partly by the available source of energy, including renewable energy, and partly by economic considerations.

ETP Consult works with control and regulation of the power plants, for example in connection with its work in Nuuk in Greenland, where a hydroelectric plant in the fjord Buksefjorden is used as the primary source of electricity.

ETP Consult also works with the integration of renewable power supplies, including in connection with supplies to peripheral areas, where it is both difficult and expensive to supply the area with fossil fuels. The focus here is on integration and wind, solar and diesel systems with a high penetration rate in the area of renewable energy sources, which results in significant savings in fossil fuels and thus CO2 emissions.
