FLEXnCONFU – FLEXibilize combined cycle power plant through Power-to-X solutions using non-CONventional FUels is a research project funded by EU’s research and innovation programme Horizon 2020 (GA 884157), with the goal to develop and demonstrate innovative, economically viable and replicable power-to-X-to-power solutions that combine all available options for the effective and flexible use of surplus power from renewable energies to levelling the power plant load by converting electricity into hydrogen or ammonia prior to converting it back to power. This will enable the design and operation of an integrated power plant layout that can untap additional combined cycle flexibility.

The project, with a total budget of 12.6 million euros and duration of 48 months (1 April 2020 – 31 March 2024), brings together the entire supply chain of  centralised power generation.
