Both test runs were conducted successfully without any technical issues. The lowest technical minimum load achieved was 34% and the highest ramp rate applied was 4 MW per minute. Both test runs were conducted in auto mode without any manual intervention. The high level of automation at the power plant represents a very good prerequisite for flexible operation.<\/p>\n<p>The test runs were part of the activities under the auspices of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energypartnership-turkiye.org\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Turkish-German Energy Partnership<\/a>. For the last years, the vgbe had been coordinator a Working Group that focused on the flexibilization of existing thermal power plants. By demonstrating the technical feasibility of flexible power plant operation, the mixed team has accomplished a key mission of the Working Group.
