Webinar Series WEBINAR SERIES ALL-ENERGY & DCARBONISE 2020 WEBINAR SERIES REVIEW Organised by: Sponsors and partners: 2 WEBINAR SERIES HIGHLIGHTS 26 Webinars and counting Countless insights on delivering net zero We created the All-Energy and Dcarbonise webinar series with one thing in mind: supporting the renewable and low carbon energy community during a time of unprecedented challenge. We launched the webinar series with four webinars on what would have been the original dates of the All-Energy & Dcarbonise 2020 event – the 13 and 14 May. We rapidly found the level of support and participation was outstanding. Capitalising on that success, we now host monthly webinars on the hottest low carbon and renewables topics, including offshore and onshore wind, hydrogen, inclusive transition, community and local energy, solar energy and more. We ramped up the volume in November by holding the All-Energy & Dcarbonise Virtual Summit, which comprised eight webinars over three days, with stellar speakers including Rt Hon Nicolar Sturgeon MSP and Paul Wheelhouse MSP. We have more webinars in the pipeline, so stay tuned! 26 15,650+ 17,100+ 130+ webinars registrations live and on-demand views speakers HIGH LEVEL PLENARY SESSIONS INCLUDING: • Rt Hon Nicola Sturgeon MSP - First Minister of Scotland; • Paul Wheelhouse MSP - The Scottish Government’s Minister for Energy, Connectivity The future and the Islands; • Keith Anderson - CEO, ScottishPower; of energy. • Julia The Baroness Brown of Cambridge - DBE FREng FRS; • Chris Stark - CEO of the Climate Change Committee; • Many others from organisations such as The Scottish Government; Natural Power; SP Energy Now.

  • Electrical Networks of Corpower Wave Farms Economic Assessment and Grid Integration Analysis of Voltage
    DEGREE PROJECT IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2017 Electrical Networks of CorPower Wave Farms Economic Assessment and Grid Integration Analysis of Voltage NIERAJ RAJ KUMAR BHARATHI KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Electrical Networks of CorPower Wave Farms Economic Assessment and Grid Integration Analysis of Voltage NIERAJ RAJ KUMAR BHARATHI Supervisors Ryan O’Donnell and Jéromine Maillet CorPower Ocean Mohammad Nazari Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm Examiner Lennart Söder Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm Master of Science Degree Project in Electric Power Systems at the School of Electrical Engineering Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden, November 2017. Abstract On the path towards the commercialisation of wave energy, there are still certain developmental challenges to be tackled by industry and academia. One of these challenges is the grid integration of wave farms along with the development of the offshore electrical networks for the farms. These networks are distinct from those of offshore wind farms on certain features – connection layouts, electrical interface equipment (subsea connectors), power ratings and cable lengths amongst many others. These differences apart from some challenges unique to wave farms make the corresponding research attractive. CorPower Ocean AB has been developing a 250 푘푊 point-absorber type Wave Energy Converter (WEC) and the thesis investigates the afore-mentioned challenges with a stage- wise analysis of wave farms comprising the CorPower WECs. Prior research on electrical networks for CorPower WECs is limited and in this regard the objective is to gain a preliminary insight into the electrical architecture of a pre-commercial wave farm.

Scotland has a significant amount of potential onshore and offshore renewable energy available for capture largely located in rural and isolated regions. Some of this potential renewable energy has been developed and contributes to the increasing amount of energy from low carbon sources in the UK, aiding in the UK reaching its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets.

(1) Based on an independent technical analysis by leading engineering and energy consultancy DNV GL, (2) ‘Pathways to Power: Scotland’s route to clean, renewable, secure electricity by 2030’ tested the Scottish Government’s current policy to decarbonise the country’s electricity generation by 2030. This is separate from the target to provide the equivalent of 100% of electricity demand from renewables by 2020, which still allows for coal, gas and nuclear to remain on the grid. (3) The DNV GL study found that an electricity system based on proven renewables and increased energy efficiency is a credible way of meeting Scotland’s decarbonisation target.1 Despite the slow pace of carbon capture and storage (CCS) development globally, the Scottish Government’s Electricity Generation Policy Statement 2013 (EGPS) (4) assumes that CCS will be operating at scale in the next decade, and fitted progressively across 2.5GW of gas plant.

  • SWW SIA Annex H Energy Theme
    South West England and South East Wales Science and Innovation Audit Annex H: New Energy Systems Theme Report A Science and Innovation Audit Report sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy H Annex H New Energy Systems Theme Report 1. Introduction In relation to the New Energy theme, there are a number of clusters of industrial and R&D activity which have specific geographical nuances, and in some cases important synergies with neighbouring regions. In summary these are: Marine renewables – the South West is the only region with all renewables resources accessible from ports and infrastructure, and with clusters of specialist industrial and academic activity spread across the region, but with significant infrastructure in the far South West (Wave Hub, Fab Test, COASTLab etc). There is an important wider geographical linkage with Southampton (NoC,) which is reflected in the development of the South Coast Marine Cluster. As recognition of the unique set of geographical and industrial assets, the South West was designated as the first Marine Energy Park in 2012, while the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult also has a dedicated presence in the area. Hydrogen / fuel cells – a corridor of technical expertise, specialism and capacity along the M4, from the Hydrogen hub at Swindon through to Cardiff, including the research centres at Baglan (University of South Wales) and Bath. This ‘corridor’ needs to be better co-ordinated and networked to increase its potential for growth. Nuclear – activity centred on the M5 corridor running from Gloucestershire (EDF Energy Generation at Barnwood, Magnox at Berkeley, and Horizon Nuclear in Gloucester), Bristol and Somerset, with the nuclear skills centre at Bridgwater, EDF’s national learning and development centre, not to mention the presence of both Hinkley C and the proposed site at Oldbury.
