Walker, Alan and Trewby, John and Kemp, Roger John and Green, Richard and Gross, Robert and Sterling, Michael and Harrison, Gareth and Smith, Richard (2014) Wind energy:implications of the large-scale deployment on the GB electricity system. Royal Academy of Engineering, London. ISBN 9781909327078

Abstract

The report analyses the likely growth in wind energy and discusses how this can be integrated into the GB electricity grid, considering dispatchability, system inertia, grid frequency, fault levels, voltage and reactive power control. It considers the need for backup generation and the effects on carbon emissions.
