Zusammenfassung: | A system for maintaining electrical power continuity in a steam-based power plant is provided. The system includes a fossil fuel-fired power generation unit and an electrical power storage apparatus. The fossil fuel-fired power generation unit is operative to generate and provide electrical power to an electrical power grid. The electrical power storage apparatus is electrically coupled to the fossil fuel-fired power generation unit and operative to: receive and store electrical power from the fossil fuel-fired power generation unit during periods of surplus electrical power generation by the fossil fuel-fired power generation unit; and to provide electrical power to a component of the fossil fuel-fired power generation unit during periods of electrical power shortage by the electrical power grid. |
