We would have to swap out these for the typical cheaper low usage
peaking natural gas generators that are less efficient and higher polluting.
A simple solution could be
peaking natural gas generators or hydro storage with enough reserve turbine capacity.
Not exact matches
Generation fueled by
natural gas and petroleum supplemented the baseload
generators during
peak and intermediate periods of demand.
Baseload
generators, like nuclear units, typically have high capacity factors, while
peaking generators like
natural gas - fired combustion turbines have low capacity factors.
