Wind is our best natural resource
Decarbonise by converting excess renewable electricity into industrial heat
Power to Heat
Zero carbon. 0 to 90tph high pressure steam. 99% efficient. Decarbonise industry and reduce turndown of wind generators. Boilers developed in Norway to optimise excess renewable hydroelectricity repurposed for Irish wind resource.
Sustainable Industrial Decarbonisation
Operate flexibly to complement variable renewable generation. Benefit from cheap wholesale electricity prices. Receive revenue from System Services and frequency regulation in times of high wind penetration. Arbitrage between fuel types in real time.
Community Benefit of Wind
Secure jobs from carbon leakage in areas of constrained wind. Maximise use of the existing electricity network, reduce the costs to all consumers of electricity (supplier charges, PSO, Grid fixed charges). Achieve 70% RES-E quicker and cheaper.
Affordable zero carbon industrial heat through flexible electrification
Flex Power Solutions is passionate about decarbonising heat on Irish industrial sites. With integrity and competence, we install electrode boilers that convert excess renewable electricity generation into useful heat. By operating these boilers flexibly, we can help our clients to achieve 30% carbon reduction while saving money. Using our proven technology in new ways we maximise the use of existing grid infrastructure to minimise dispatch down of wind turbines, while providing a valuable service to the Transmission System Operator.
