Slide 3: Why We're Evolving
Why We’re Evolving ➢ The world is changing rapidly. ➢ Decarbonisation, ESG responsibilities, and digitalisation are redefining the energy sector. ➢ IPC is evolving to stay relevant and lead innovation, while building on our strong foundation in power generation. ➢ Our goal - through our new IPC New
Slide 4: A New Path to Decarbonised Power Systems
A New Path to Decarbonised Power Systems Adapting Conventional Power to a Carbon Free Future ➢ Gas-fired power remains essential but must evolve to meet today’s grid and customer needs for flexibility, resilience, and carbon-free generation. ➢ Conventional power, reimagined for: ✓ Fast response ✓ Re
Slide 5: Offshore Integrated Solution for Decarbonisation
Offshore Integrated Solution for Decarbonisation MLCP’s Mobile Offshore Generating Unit with CCS ➢ Offshore Advantage: • Co-location of fuel source and CO2 disposal reservoirs • Abundant cooling medium (sea water) simplifies heat exchange and reduces auxiliary power burden • Natural access to unders
Slide 6: Advantages of Offshore Power Generation with CCS
Advantages of Offshore Power Generation with CCS Southern North Sea: Earlham Gas Field ➢ Offshore Advantage: • Locating a MOGU on the Earlham site eliminates the need both for a natural gas pipeline to shore or a long-distance CO2 disposal pipeline . • The Earlham MOGU treats gas offshore to reduce
Slide 7: Offshore Wind Beyond Borders
Offshore Wind Beyond Borders Connecting Complementary Offshore Wind Zones for More Renewable Power ➢ Challenge: Offshore wind fluctuates with regional weather patterns. ➢ Opportunity: Complementary wind zones across climatic regions balancing variability; eg UK & Iceland. ➢ Concept: Offshore Wind Be
Slide 8: Offshore Wind Beyond Borders
Offshore Wind Beyond Borders Enabling Technology and Benefits ➢ Enabler: Advances in long-distance HVDC transmission (525 kV class) enable efficient cross-border renewable integration. ➢ Distance: ~1,500 km link (IceWind project concept). ➢ Depths: ~ 500-800 meters (via Faroe Islands). ➢ Power Losse
Slide 9: Fuel Cell Technology: Base Load off-Grid Power
Fuel Cell Technology: Base Load off-Grid Power ➢ SOFC Fuel Cells Role in power generation mix • Base load operation • Grid independence • 𝐶𝐻4+2𝑂2→𝐶𝑂2+2𝐻2𝑂 • 20% carbon reduction and higher efficiency compared to OCGT • Cons: Warm-up time: ~12–14 hours to reach full operational state. . ➢…
Slide 10: Battery Energy Storage Evolution
Battery Energy Storage Evolution ➢ Drivers of BESS growth: ➢ Transformational capabilities: • Larger-scale manufacturing & • Sub-second response times and fast commercialization in the last frequency response decade • Grid-forming and black-start capability • Falling material and system costs • Comp
Slide 11: IPC Perspective on BESS
IPC Perspective on BESS ➢ Hybrid & Co-Location Concept: • Shared grid connection and substation • Optimised capex & opex • Higher transmission asset utilisation: from ~45% to up to 75% ➢ Enhancing renewable value: • Smooths intermittent generation and load peaks / SOFC • Enables stable, carbon-free
Slide 12: Closing: From Vision to Implementation
Closing: From Vision to Implementation ➢ What’s exciting is that all this technology exists today. ➢ The challenge isn’t technical feasibility. It’s bringing the right mindset, partnerships, and forward-thinking customers together to implement it. ➢ Data centres, for example, are already embracing d
