Project Abstract
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.
