Wind power: implications of large-scale deployment on the UK energy system
With wind power set to play an
expanding role in the UK’s energy system, the Royal
Academy of Engineering is carrying out a study on
what the implications are of large-scale deployment
of wind power on the UK electricity system. The
study will concentrate mainly on the engineering
implications of wind power, particularly in terms of
how the grid system will operate but also on issues
of installation, operation and decommissioning as
well as the effect on other related industrial
activities. In addition to the engineering issues,
costs and carbon emissions will also be considered
as the UK tries to move towards solving the
‘trilemma’ of secure, affordable and low-carbon
energy. The study will consider a medium timeframe
up to 2030.
Any inquiries about the study
should be addressed to Dr Alan Walker
