Offshore grids: the Irish view

A seguito di un accordo di collaborazione con ERSE, EIRGRID ha condotto uno studio che si è avvalso di una metodologia per la pianificazione del sistema di trasmissione, sviluppata in ERSE, per far evolvere la rete irlandese esistente in modo da ottenere una connessione ottimale degli impianti offshore previsti nel mare di Irlanda. Nell¿articolo è descritta una prima fase dello studio, dettagliando le assunzioni fatte e gli strumenti utilizzati.

Ireland has some of the most favourable wind conditions in the whole of Europe. Wind production, in the mainland as well as offshore, is expected to grow rapidly during the coming years, as evidenced by the fact that some 6000 MW of wind generation is currently awaiting connection to the grid onshore. Given the massive potential for the exploitation of renewable energy resources off the coast of Ireland, i.e. some thousands of MW [1], as well as first requests of connections offshore, it seemed reasonable to develop a study to investigate how to facilitate the connection of this type of generation which is the best topology and which the most viable and cost effective technology. Following a cooperation agreement between EIRGRID and ERSE, a study has been performed by using a Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP) methodology developed by ERSE [2] to evaluate the best network expansion plan aiming at transferring in the Irish Transmission System (ITS), the potential amount of wind energy to be produced offshore in the Irish Sea.
