Contents Overview of the stdy Introdction Preliminary modelling & portfolios Wind variability management Transmission network Impacts and benefits Evalation
Stdy: Five related workstreams
Focs areas
Introdction Island: Repblic of Ireland & Northern Ireland Stdy: First comprehensive assessment of ability of the grid to absorb large amonts of renewable energy. Objective: To assess the technical feasibility and the relative costs and benefits of varios scenarios of increased renewable energy
Crrent sitation (2008) vs 2020 Peak demand 7 GW Peak demand 10 GW Two system operators Two system operators 500 MW interconnection to Scotland 1000 MW connection to GB Wind prodction 700 MW Contracted: 800 MW Applicants: 3200 MW Almost 6 GW In planning: 1000 MW
Energy sorces taken into accont Comprehensive range of renewables Each resorce qantified, located and costed Wind Levelised cost tables for each Biomass Wave energy Tidal energy Wood co-combstion Small hyrdo and PV rejected
Assmptions Used estimations are accrate Used data is accrate 6100 MW of crrent prodction still operational Reslts are good withot market modelling No changes in land sage rights
Preliminary modelling To select portfolios for frther analysis Linear optimization model for year 2020 High level ideas, no complexity Single year of wind data Does not inclde new technologies Uncertainties varied in the model: Ftre fel price Ftre wind trbine cost WACC Appetite for old energy sorces Governmental gidance

Wind variability management Renewable prodction affects: Inpts: Overall operation Wind data Costs WS2a portfolios Emissions Forecast scenarios Tools Otpts: Wilmar planning tool Fel consmption Scenario tree tool Volme of reserve provision Schedling model Import & export Horly time resoltion CO2 emissions
Wind variability management
Wind variability model conclsions Assmed renewables can be integrated Nearly whole demand for reserves provided by offline nits Yearly operation costs redced Yearly CO2 emissions redced Fel consmption redced Increased import to GB All portfolios rely on import and non-dispatchable generation to cover the load in peak load hors More variation needs flexible nits to accont for this Overall variation of prodction increases Amont of crtailed wind power prodction increases
Transmission network Three operational regimes Winter peak Smmer maximm Smmer night valley High and low wind generation Steady-state model Task 1: First-pass secrity assessment Task 2: Comprehensive secrity assessment Initially with DC, then converted into AC Main otpt: Reqired network reinforcements Costs Extent of network development for a range of renewable generation penetration levels Focs on reinforcements that might be reqired for Ireland 2020 in order to accommodate new renewable generation
Transmission network
Transmission network
Transmission network conclsions Overloads New lines Uprating the existing lines Additional reactive power spport Overloaded lines mainly where significant installed wind capacity Main challenge: voltage and reactive power control Cost increase de to increased renewables
