While advocates are able to address many of the concerns expressed by critics, biofuels remain a short-term option in the UK and its status beyond 2010 remains uncertain. Based on a recent Dutch study which concludes that the use of biomass for power generation is more cost-effective than biofuels in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there are those who believe that UK biomass is a limited resource and should be best used in power generation.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122303722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Another technical modification is better response to over- and under-frequency via the use of site SCADA control systems. These technological advances coupled with the modernization of grid management techniques should securely provide a share of the UK's future power needs.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116644404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Apart from these so-called \"self-healing\" capabilities of intelligent networks, other advantages include a more efficient use of electricity, higher reliability of supply, two-way communications between suppliers and customers, dynamic pricing based on real-time market data and improved security.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125396748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More than 120 GW of generating capacity is under construction including the 18.2 GW Three Gorges hydroelectric project, which is due for eventual expansion to 22.4 GW. However, even with this rate of growth within the electrical energy sector, new generating capacity is unlikely to meet demand in most areas for at least another 12 months. Despite efforts to reform the electricity sector, strengthening the country's power grid networks remains a key objective. Fortunately, the pace of technological development in the power transmission sector is also gathering momentum. Awaiting approval is a project to construct the world's first ultra high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission system. This is part of the effort to upgrade and reinforce the existing nine west-to-east links which import bulk power.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"339 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134228954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, balancing provision is shrinking as environmental pressures squeeze older coal stations out of the market and new stations are being designed to suit the developer rather than fulfilling any cohesive strategy. As a result, alternative sources of flexibility are required urgently. This need is addressed by a new concept called demand side flexibility (DSF) in which consumers contribute to energy balancing. DSF includes consumption and also embedded generators, which are thought of as negative demand and often ignored by transmission system operators (TSO). While the progress in DSF has been limited, it is just only a matter of time before DSF emerges as a major provider of efficient, low cost energy balancing.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128613096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
