Electric steam boilers can be used in various applications: direct power-to-heat; as a backup energy source independent of the primary fuel; to cover peak loads; electrical grid regulation; emission reduction and avoidance of CO2 trading.
An electric steam boiler is a type of boiler where the steam is generated using electricity, rather than through the combustion of a fuel source. Such boilers are used to generate steam for process purposes in many locations, for example laundries, food processing factories and hospitals.
