Strategies to utilise large-scale future renewable energy generation in Scotland (or other locations remote from major load centres)

苏格兰未来大规模可再生能源发电的研究。苏格兰目前的发电能力约为8-10GW，其中大部分是陆上风电，这一数量大大超过了苏格兰目前的峰值电力需求。因此，在高发电量的时候，需要大量的电力输出来避免大规模的弃电。如果经济环境有利，预计将有大量额外的发电厂——可能包括风力发电和潜在的海洋发电。这些类型的限制在英国和海外的其他地方也存在，可以在不同的地理尺度上考虑。该项目旨在对利用未来额外可再生（和其他）发电资源的不同方法进行技术经济可行性评估。可能考虑的方法包括：加强电网；部署其他能源载体的储存和使用；创造灵活的需求，在高发电量时期利用能源。该项目还试图探索利用可再生能源发电为电网提供辅助服务以及满足能源需求的潜力。

The study of large scale future renewable energy generation in Scotland.Scotland currently has around 8-10GW electrical generation capacity, most of which is onshore wind, a quantity which considerably exceeds peak electrical demand in Scotland at present. Thus, at times of high generation, considerable electrical exports are needed to avoid large-scale curtailment. Significant additional generation plant - likely to include wind and potentially marine generation - can be expected if economic circumstances are favourable. These types of constraints also exist elsewhere within GB and overseas, and can be considered on different geographical scales. This project seeks to make a techno-economic feasibility appraisal of different approaches to utilising future additional renewable (and other) electrical generation resources. Potential approaches to be considered include: reinforcements of electrical networks; deployment of storage and use of other energy vectors; and creation of flexible demands to utilise energy at times of high generation. This project seeks to also explore the potential of using renewable generation to provide ancillary services to networks, as well as to meet energy needs.
