In addition, Moody's expects the growth of energy storage will be credit negative for conventional power generation plants, because it will allow renewable generation to compete on an equal footing with conventional plants.

And this March, 50Hertz revealed in its full - year results for 2012 that it had to curtail generation from renewable power producers (the last tactic to maintain reliability after reducing generation from conventional plants) to avoid oversupply on 77 days last year — almost double the 45 days in 2011.

This is particularly relevant for power systems where the peak load is expected to increase at the same time as conventional power plants to be replaced by intermittent renewable power generation.

Since the lead time for construction of wind power plants is much shorter than that of transmission lines and conventional power plants, it becomes critical that grid augmentations are planned with significant foresight into political and industry intentions for the development of renewable energy based generation.

Matthias Taft, Board Member of BayWa AG with responsibility for the energy business adds: «We are entering a new phase of energy generation: for the first time, renewable energy plants are able to generate cleaner power at the same or even lower price as conventional power plants.

That also includes using a definition of «levelized cost» that deliberately ignores the hidden costs of maintaining a normal fuel - based generation grid capable of carrying the entire load because PV and wind (however cheap or expensive they might be when they are working) are literally incapable of working 24 × 7 and at best reduce the rate at which conventional plants consume fuel without reducing or eliminating the need for conventional plants.

The term dumb generation describes the kind of conventional power plants, wind turbines or solar panels that have been used for decades.

It is hard to beat conventional generation such as a coal plant for a compact foot print for the amount of power that it produces.

Thus, when people today buy electricity from coal - fired power plants, or fill their cars with conventional gasoline, they are unwittingly setting in motion damages that will strike future generations.

Sudden conventional power plant failures require very fast acting reserve generation.»

Bloom additionally notes that wind and solar plants that utilize inverter and information technologies can supply essential reliability services which have been traditionally supplied by conventional generation, enough to handle instantaneous penetrations of 60 % on the Western Interconnection.

California ISO says that the project shows that renewable energy plants with smart inverter technology can provide grid services similar to, or in some cases better than conventional generation.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration includes the following in U.S. primary energy production: coal production, waste coal supplied, and coal refuse recovery; crude oil and lease condensate production; natural gas plant liquids production; dry natural gas excluding supplemental gaseous fuels production; nuclear electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the nuclear plant heat rates); conventional hydroelectricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates); geothermal electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates), and geothermal heat pump energy and geothermal direct use energy; solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates), and solar thermal direct use energy; wind electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates); wood and wood - derived fuels consumption; biomass waste consumption; and biofuels feedstock.

In the traditional model of a national electricity system — widely used for more than 50 years — large conventional gas, coal and nuclear generation plants supply large centres of demand.
