Q & A
What is the main issue caused by the connection of a large amount of renewable energy to the grid?
-The main issue is the occurrence of voltage deviations and grid congestion, which can lead to operational challenges in maintaining grid stability.
What is the term used to describe the action taken by the system operator to reduce generator power output at specific moments?
-This action is referred to as 'curtailment'.
In the year 2026, what percentage of renewable generation might be affected by power reduction mandates?
-Between 2% and 14% of renewable generation could be affected by these power reductions, depending on the investments made in the electrical grid.
How does the economic viability of a power generation plant relate to the issues mentioned in the script?
-The economic viability of a plant depends on the revenue it receives from the electricity it generates over its lifespan. Curtailments can reduce this revenue, making a once-viable project unprofitable.
Why is there a need for a new tool to address the uncertainties in the renewable energy sector mentioned in the script?
-The new tool is needed to help companies make better investment decisions by predicting where grid congestion or voltage deviations are more likely to occur, thus reducing the risk associated with connecting a new generation plant.
What is the basis of the proposed tool for eliminating uncertainties in renewable energy grid integration?
-The tool is based on a simulation model of Spain's electrical grid, which is updated according to grid plans and forecasts of demand and generation.
How does the simulation model help in determining the points of potential grid congestion or voltage deviations?
-The model provides a representative picture of Spain's future electrical grid, allowing the tool to analyze and identify areas where congestions or voltage deviations are more likely to happen.
What benefits does the tool offer to companies looking to connect a new power generation plant to the grid?
-The tool allows companies to know in advance if the point where they plan to connect their plant is likely to be affected by curtailment, helping them decide whether to proceed or choose a more beneficial location.
How can companies use the insights provided by the tool to improve their investment decisions?
-Companies can use the tool to assess the potential risks and benefits of connecting a new plant at a specific point on the grid, thus making more informed investment decisions.
What is the significance of the tool in the context of the renewable energy sector's growth and development?
-The tool is significant as it helps in the efficient integration of renewable energy into the grid, ensuring that new investments are sustainable and economically viable despite potential operational challenges.
Is there any mention of how frequently the simulation model will be updated in the script?
-No, the script does not specify the frequency of updates for the simulation model.
Outlines
🌐 Renewable Energy Grid Integration Challenges
The script discusses the challenges faced by the power grid due to the increased integration of renewable energy sources. Over recent years, the grid has experienced congestion and voltage deviations, prompting the system operator to send directives to generators to reduce their output at specific times, a process known as curtailment. In 2026, depending on the investments in the electrical grid, between 2% and 14% of the generation capacity may be affected by these power reductions. This can impact the economic viability of a generation plant, which depends on the revenue it can generate during its lifetime. If the generation is reduced due to system operator requirements, a project that was initially viable may no longer be. Currently, there is no information about which parts of the grid will be affected by this phenomenon, adding to the uncertainty.

en los últimos años se ha conectado una
gran cantidad de generación renovable en
la red lo que ha ocasionado con
gestiones y desvíos de tensión para
evitar estos problemas el operador del
sistema envía consignas a los
generadores para que reduzcan su
potencia en momentos puntuales esto se
conoce como brutalmente en concreto en
el año 2026 dependiendo de las
inversiones que se hagan en mejorar la
red eléctrica entre un dos y un 14% de
la generación se verá afectada por estas
reducciones de potencia la viabilidad
económica de una planta de generación
depende de los ingresos que reciba por
la generación que puede producir durante
su vida útil por tanto si Esta
generación se ve reducida por exigencias
de operador del sistema un proyecto
inicialmente era viable puede dejar de
serlo actualmente no hay información
sobre qué puntos de la red se van a ver
afectados por este fenómeno por por lo
tanto debes decirse proponemos una
herramienta que elimine parte de esta
incertidumbre esta herramienta se basa
en un modelo de simulación de la red de
España Que se actualiza según las
planificaciones de red eléctrica y las
previsiones de demanda y generación de
manera que obtenemos un modelo que sea
representativo de la red de España en el
futuro
a partir del análisis de esta red la
herramienta puede determinar En qué
puntos se van a producir más
congestiones o desvíos de tensión y por
tanto son más es más probable que en
estos puntos haya en resumen esta
herramienta permite que una empresa que
únicamente conozca el punto en el que va
a conectar su planta de generación sepa
de manera anticipada si este punto en
concreto se va a ver afectado por este
fenómeno del hospital
y de esta manera puedo decidir si
conecta su planta en este punto o Elegir
otro más beneficioso es decir nuestra
herramienta permite a las empresas
realizar mejores decisiones de inversión
