More grid flexibility urgently required

I saw that the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) have published a new report this week which looks at where those costs are and how they can be minimised.

This article from The Engineer highlights how the National Grid's plan to adapt their storage systems must also work in combination with demand side response, more flexible generation and interconnection.


What impact do you think renewables will have on the grid?

  • Hi,

    Is anybody able to advise or comment on whether the current UK Grid Code allows a utility to meet Grid Code requirements by having mixed generating technologies at 1 point of connection? E.g. a nuclear power station having gas turbines, or stored DC power conversion systems, to meet frequency response requirements?


    Thanks,


    Bob.
