Electromagnetic Transient Modelling and Stability Analysis of a Wind and PV Dominated Irish Power System for 2030 and Beyond

Project Description

To combat climate change, Ireland has committed to be carbon neutral by 2050, with the 2021 Climate Action Plan targeting up to 80% electricity generation from renewables by 2030. This ambition implies many technical and operational challenges for the Irish grid, so, the project will develop high-fidelity modelling approaches, perform comprehensive stability analyses, propose robust operational rules, and create fast simulation tools essential for future systems with very high renewable shares. The project will provide a large stepping stone towards achieving a net-zero carbon energy system, and further emphasise Ireland's leading role in integrating renewables into power and energy systems.
