With a power-to-heat plant, electricity from renewable energy sources can be efficiently converted into heat energy in a CO2-neutral manner. Whether for excess electricity usage of municipal utility grids, as feed-in to the district heating supply or as backup in the heating process: Kraftanlagen offers you the green solution for heat and steam generation with the help of a power-to-heat plant.
How a power-to-heat plant works
Due to the expansion of renewable energies, there is increasingly large energy excess. With the help of power-to-heat plants, this previously unused electricity can be converted into green heat. In this context, the term “heat transition” is becoming increasingly important, because the shutdown of conventional thermal power plants eliminates large amounts of heat and steam that were previously produced in the power plants as waste heat.
The use of electrode boilers makes it possible to convert renewable electrical energy into heat and steam quickly, efficiently, and in large quantities. The electrode boiler is connected via a medium-voltage connection or transformer and can use submersible electrodes, a regulated water level, and the applied voltage to generate heat on demand in a compact manner.
Together with Parat, the world’s leading supplier of electrode boilers, we provide you with power-to-heat solutions from a single source integrated into an existing plant or on a greenfield site.
