What is the role of bulk storage technologies under different scenarios of wind build out i.e. the possible duration of periods of low wind and low solar irradiance across large parts of Europe? Could such periods become more frequent/severe in the coming decades as climate change alters conventional weather patterns?
Background
BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
