Especially <b>CHP plants with flexible operation<\/b> will make a sustainable, efficient contribution to the security of supply by compensating the fluctuating feed-in of renewable energies.<\/p>\n<p>With their <b>distributed power supply concept<\/b>, CHP plants increase the <b>security of supply<\/b>. Whenever the power from wind and sunshine is not sufficient, they can kick in to cover the residual load. Though according to forecasts of energy experts such as the Fraunhofer Institute, the number of full load hours of the installed CHP plants is going to drop considerably compared to today, this will increase the value of the power these power plants will deliver.<\/p>\n<p>During excess times, power from renewable energies can be used to provide heat using the <b>power-to-heat<\/b> components of the CHP systems. Moreover, the excess power can be used with <b>power-to-gas technologies<\/b> in order to regeneratively produce fuel for the biogas or natural gas-fired CHP plants. Thus, <b>trigeneration plants<\/b> are innovation drivers and ideal partners of renewable energies.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1142px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caterpillar-energy-solutions.de\/files\/upload\/image\/0396_2_CES-Engine-Range.jpg\" title=\"Gas-powered generating sets for combined heat and power plants\" alt=\"Gas-powered generating sets for combined heat and power plants\" width=\"1142\" height=\"406\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The product portfolio of Caterpillar Energy Solutions encompasses gas-fueled gensets for MWM and Cat cogeneration power plants (CHP), which are produced in Mannheim, Germany, and in Lafayette, U.S, and are well established in the world market.
