Overcoming renewable energy variability for a stable grid

Integrating large amounts of solar and wind into electricity grids is a major challenge due to their intermittency. As the world installs more renewables, the peaks and troughs in power generation will extend beyond hourly or daily fluctuations into seasonal patterns. Managing these variations requires flexible energy systems that can adjust output throughout the year to balance intermittency and maintain grid stability, reports Charlie Bush.

A potential 3,800 km-long clean energy solution for the UK

The intermittency of renewable energy sources is one of their biggest challenges. But long-distance renewable projects connecting areas with reliably high levels of sun and wind to energy markets could become an important solution to this, writes Abby Hockman, Marketing Communications Manager for Xlinks.

Does ESG hold the key to energy transition?

The war in Ukraine and the response by energy companies and governments – to perhaps return to fossil fuel development – has raised serious questions around corporate environmental, social and governance. It’s a changing picture, as Nick Cottam reports.

Onshore and offshore wind H&S remains strong as working hours increase

According to the 2021 annual incident data reports published by SafetyOn and G+, two organisations run in partnership with the Energy Institute (EI), the number of health and safety (H&S) incidents in onshore and offshore wind remains low, despite the rapid growth in the wind energy sector. Beate Hildenbrand, EI Manager of Off/Onshore Wind, reports.
