Summarization
National Grid ESO has been studying the impact of renewables on the UK energy provision as well as Demand Flexibility Service which is a form of energy demand response. There has been a strong focus on diversity of thought on the issue and EVs have been highlighted as having enormous flexible potential. It has also been stated that renewable energy production is 100x lower in gCO2/kWh than burning coal. There have been calls for better certification needed in Ireland, the UK, and even across the Atlantic. There have also been conferences and podcasts dedicated to the issue as well as discussions on virtual energy systems, net zero emissions, decarbonizing heat and transport.
Topic Modeling
- Renewable Energy: Wind, Solar, EV Charging etc
- Flexibility of Renewable Energy
- Carbon Emissions and Decarbonization
- System Operation
