A smart approach could mean half of UK’s energy is renewable by 2030
A 50% renewable energy supply, which is both profitable and secure, is possible for the UK’s electricity grid by just 2030, according to a new study. Researchers at Imperial College London have developed a plan for adapting and operating the grid so that it can be flexibly controlled through smart-grid technology while overcoming the uncertainties in renewable-energy supply and demand.
The more variable nature of some forms of renewable energy can be balanced by using adequately flexible measures.
