04 Holistic approach to offshore network planning
Biljana Stojkovska, Technical Manager Offshore Coordination, NG ESO; Innovation Manager, National Grid ESO
National Grid ESO Innovation Technical Manager Dr. Biljana Stojkovska is an esteemed figure in the energy revolution with one of the most transformational projects that the energy industry has seen. The project is called Power Potential and Dr. Stojkovska is leading a multidisciplinary team that is pioneering a whole system approach to connect additional renewable energy in a new regional reactive power market trial. This trial is expected to improve interaction between National Grid’s Electricity System Operator, regional electricity distributors and renewable energy generators connected to the distribution system to create a cost effective new revenue stream for embedded generators and give greater robustness to the power system.
She is also Technical Manager for Offshore Coordination working on strategic development of the offshore networks with overall aim to achieve the holistic network planning solution for end consumers in order to meet government green future objectives.
Biljana is a Charted engineer and Fellow of the IET. Skilled communicator, experienced in presenting at international conferences, collaborating across multiple sectors and government regulatory bodies. Founder and chair of CIGRE UK Women’s Network of highly respected international council for large electric systems CIGRE UK.
Synopsis of talk
The United Kingdom (‘UK’) Government has an ambition to achieve 40 GW by 2030 of installed offshore wind capacity, potentially rising to at least 75 GW by 2050. Achievement of these 2030 and 2050 targets is expected to require a step change in development approach in terms of both volume and pace. In the presentation the benefits from using an ‘integrated’ approach for offshore transmission development will be presented, alongside the key barriers and risk to achieve that.
