Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

Continued deployment of distributed renewable generation in areas with abundant wind and solar potential is a key driver for Europe's clean energy transition. However, it needs to be accompanied by adequate consideration for the capacity of the transmission grid infrastructure to avoid further grid congestion, according to a new study.

By investigating different grid expansion scenarios, researchers have found that without swift action, redispatch volumes could increase almost six-fold by 2040, in a massive grid expansion (XGE) scenario in which the total grid length in Europe would increase by more than a third.

What is redispatch?

Redispatch is an essential mechanism used by electricity grid operators to ensure the stability and balance of the power system.

When transmission network constraints arise between power plants and demand centers, redispatch makes adjustments to the output of power plants after the wholesale electricity market clearance.
