Electricity Generation, Storage and Distribution

Technology Presentation Peter Ellwood (HSL)

Scope

• Changing energy mix for electricity

generation

• Storage of electricity from renewable and

intermittent sources

• Distribution issues

Wind Energy

• Onshore -

commercial, community, micro

• Offshore - commercial

EU Wind Energy at the end of 2013

• Now 117.3 GW of installed wind energy capacity in the EU:

110.7 GW onshore and 6.6 GW offshore.

• 11,159 MW of capacity (worth between €13 bn and €18 bn)

was installed in the EU-28 during 2013, a decrease of 8% compared to 2012 installations.

• EU power sector continues to move away from fuel oil and

coal, with each technology continuing to decommission more than it installs.

• Wind power capacity installed by the end of 2013 would, in a

normal wind year, produce 257 TWh of electricity, enough to cover 8% of EU consumption – up from 7% at end 2012.

Future EU Wind Energy

• By 2020, EU wind power capacity of 230 GW,

190 GW onshore and 40 GW offshore.

• By 2030 , EU wind power capacity of 400 GW,

250 GW onshore and 150 GW offshore.

• Total output of 581 TWh (15.7%) by 2020,

1153.7 TWh (28.5%) by 2030 of consumption.

• Wind sector jobs up from 190,000 to 462,000 by

2020 and 480,000 by 2030.

• Smart controllers
• Infrastructure

13

Exercise 2

• Consider Peter’s presentation and

discussions

• Agree a potential energy sector structure

(e.g. mix of generation, energy storage….etc.) and key energy technologies in your scenario

• Agree the key technology changes for now

and the associated operational issues

• Record on feedback form
