Overview
Overview
The project, Enhance Climate Adaptation and Extreme Weather Resilience of Highly Renewable Penetrated Irish Electricity Networks, aims at developing a multi-time scale approach to study the interaction between climate change, extreme weather, and the power systems under 2030 and 2050 energy and environmental policies.
To assist Ireland in meeting the climate-neutral goal, support the decision-making of electricity network
development, address the knowledge gap between different disciplines, and inform environmental policymakers,
the following four specific objectives are designed in this project.
1. To understand the impact on Irish electric power system under climate change and extreme weather (past weather events), and consequently the feedback to the 2030 and 2050 environmental policies. (WP1)
2. To provide a comprehensive vulnerability and risk assessment of the Irish electric power system under future extreme weather events, which will form actionable insights for local electricity network enhancement. (WP2)
3. To provide a multiple-time-scale (from decades to sub-seconds) climate adaptation and resilience enhancement strategy to help the Irish power system safely host more than 80% renewable energies. (WP3-4)
4. To inform policymakers and stakeholders of the contribution/pathway from the electricity side to achieve Ireland’s climate neutrality by 2050. (WP1-4)
