Synchronicity and the Future Grid

Category: Green recovery

Map of the UK overlaid with clocks, turbines and solar panels connected by a grid

The UK鈥檚 net-zero climate commitments mean the grid must close remaining fossil fuel power plants and adapt to increasing weather extremes. To help enable this without compromising consumers鈥� stable power supplies, we must master the control of power plant synchronicity in a renewables-dominated grid. Our research uses computer simulations and machine learning to contribute to knowledge about synchronicity and blackout avoidance during disturbances, such as weather extremes and plant failures.
