Electric boiler for steam production
Resistance-heated electric steam boiler, 500–5,000 kW as standard and up to 80,000 kW on request. No chimney required — significantly easier environmental permitting.
The electric boiler is a well-established heating system solution. A key advantage of electrically produced energy is its ability to regulate the electrical grid load when needed. In grid fault situations, the electric boiler can be switched on or off by Fingrid when participating in the frequency regulation market. Participation in the reserve market provides capacity compensation from Fingrid.
In the resistance boiler method, steam is produced by heating the boiler water with metallic resistance elements that convert electrical energy into thermal energy. The boiler output can be adjusted by switching resistance elements on and off, as well as by regulating the output of individual elements.
The electric boiler is an excellent choice as a primary or secondary steam source, enabling optimization of heating costs by utilizing spot electricity prices and Fingrid reserve market compensation.
