FPPs can be either ship-shaped vessels or flat barges, and over 70 such vessels have been built, with most operating on liquid fuel. One of the earliest FPP vessels was the SS Jacona, which was built in 1931 to restore power to communities after storm damage. 3 The concept was further developed by the

Renewables are set to contribute 80% of new power generation capacity to 2030 under current policy settings, with solar alone accounting for more than half of this expansion. However, this scenario takes into account only a fraction of solar''s potential, according to the WEO analysis.

Finally, 2015 was an impressive year for energy efficiency (SDG 7.3), with global energy intensity falling by 2.8%, the fastest annual improvement since 1990. However, the average improvement between 2000 and 2015 of 2.2% still falls short of the 2.6% target needed to achieve the SDG target, and the 3.4% annual improvement

Energy storage is not a new concept but is gaining importance in the context of the energy transition paradigm. It is expected to play a key role in future electric power systems as the growing development of renewable energy resources and their increasing share in the energy mix introduce significant challenges to the existing power grid due to the high

Renewable generation differs from traditional generation in many ways. A renewable power plant consists of hundreds of small renewable energy generators (of 1–5 MW) with power electronics that interface with the grid, while a conventional power plant consists of one or two large synchronous generators (of 50–500 MW) that connect directly to the grid.
