Unit overview
The supply of carbon free electricity is one of the major success factors to achieving net zero carbon. The UK National Grid is attempting to achieve net zero carbon by 2030 on its electricity grid. However, given the intermittent nature of renewable energy, the transition to a decarbonised electrical grid does not come without challenges. In this unit, we will explore electricity generation technology and methods of storage and transmission
