Wärtsilä Decarbonisation services empower microgrid operators to reduce CO2 emissions, ensure availability and uptime, and secure long-term cost savings. Read on to find out exactly how we can help you get there, one step at a time.
For your microgrid operations—be it for utilities, industries such as mining or cement production, or anything in between—the high reliability and continuous availability of electricity is everything. We know these sectors often operate in remote or challenging environments, where a stable power supply is critical to sustaining successful operations.
Decarbonisation presents both opportunities and challenges for microgrid operators. On one hand, power producers that move quickly to build more renewable energy systems can enhance sustainability and leverage the competitive pricing of renewables. On the other hand, the intermittency of renewables brings its own challenges.
Inflexible power systems struggle to adapt to the variability of renewables, which can lead to not only grid instability and blackouts, but also renewable curtailment and higher system costs.
On top of this, there is rarely one entity solely accountable for optimising the entire microgrid operation. Instead, various stakeholders, each with their distinct interests, may unintentionally suboptimise components of the system. This lack of alignment can impede the overarching goal of achieving a synergistic, efficient microgrid operation.
Navigating this to overcome challenges and reap the benefits requires a careful selection of technologies and solutions that align with the unique needs of each microgrid. That’s where we come in.
At Wärtsilä, we optimise your entire power system and lay out the concrete roadmap that will allow you to cut emissions and ensure a reliable power supply, all at the lowest levelised cost of electricity. Here’s how.
1. Market-leading technology: Technology innovation is one of Wärtsilä's core competencies—think flexible grid balancing engines, energy management system, energy storage, and top-notch lifecycle services. These are the tools we use to optimise your entire microgrid, ensuring maximum value for you.
2. Outcome-based approach: What you pay depends on our ability to help you meet your targets, with shared KPIs tied to your business goals. We win when you win, driving us to continuously improve your microgrid's performance.
3. Practical implementation: Our decarbonisation roadmap is backed by rigorous modelling and simulations. We tailor the optimal steps towards decarbonisation for each customer, gradually reducing costs and emissions at the microgrid level. From engine maintenance to fuel conversions, maximising renewables' utilisation, adding energy storage, or exploring sustainable fuels—we have the solution, and we're ready to roll.
Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation services aren't just about cutting emissions; they're about forging a sustainable partnership that puts you in the driver's seat, steering towards a future of cleaner, reliable power. Let's make it a reality, together.
