About the session
Finally, the specific case of the present and future Ireland power system will be presented by Eoin Kennedy, Head of Future Operations team at EirGrid, the transmission system operator for Ireland. By 2030, Ireland, as asynchronously isolated power system, is aiming for a 70% annual share of (mostly wind and PV) renewables. An instantaneous non-synchronous generation share of 90+% is also targeted. An insight into the challenges that EirGrid sees ahead will be outlined, supported by its innovative strategy to address them over the next decade.
