Status - In Progress

To meet net-zero by 2050, a dramatic expansion of the UK offshore energy, up to 80 GW by 2050 will be required. The rapid growth in renewable generation and additional transmission links is significantly changing the characteristics of the GB electrical network and the risk of adverse interactions increases. Hence, developing effective system model and methods to study and identify potential source of instability and to mitigate stability problems becomes critically important for a secure, resilient, and efficient future GB power network. The project will develop models, tools and methodologies to analyse and improve stability of future GB electrical network.
