National Grid ESO

National Grid ESO told ELN that tonight will mark 1,464 hours since the last coal generator came off the system on Thursday 9th April

The spike was caused when people went back inside their homes and turned kettles and appliances on

The minimum threshold for taking part in helping balance the system has been lowered from 100MW to 1MW

Reactive power services help ensure voltage levels on the system remain within a given range, above or below nominal levels

The two-day event will centre around an industrial data-led challenge, with the aim of developing a prototype solution for use in wind farm operations

What does the energy sector think of the findings?

National Grid ESO has published its final technical report into the power outages of Friday 9th August

The six-year deal will see the system operator able to accurately measure system inertia for the first time

A new project is exploring how distributed energy resources could be used to restore power in the “highly unlikely event” of a total or partial shutdown of the National Electricity Transmission System

Members of the Alliance commit to taking actions such as setting targets to phase out coal and committing to no further investments in coal power
