I find myself wondering if there's the possibility of a new wind record in terms of % of grid from wind rather than absolute GW. As i understand it, the nuclear fleet (if it still qualifies as a 'fleet'), doesn't/didn't help with frequency stability as that option wasn't installed. So could we end up with a few Gw fossil for stability and higher % wind?Adokforme wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 11:50 am Just been on -

It's showing wind at 20.75 GW, Solar 2.3, emissions 71g/MWh and a price of £0.00/MWh!
A good time to be on Octopus Agile I assume!

Re: UK Wind Record
I've just done a number crunch using Gridwatch data over the past 5 years to include COVID lockdowns in case there was a weird extra low demand day.

Highest Wind V Demand, choosing just the highest on each individual day was,
62.51 % @ 2023-01-05 22:55:39
62.50 % @ 2023-01-11 03:40:41
61.94 % @ 2023-01-06 00:20:40
61.84 % @ 2023-01-08 00:35:39
61.74 % @ 2023-01-14 23:45:40
61.61 % @ 2023-01-15 01:35:39
61.41 % @ 2022-12-30 03:40:41
Highest today and looked like with some curtailment to me, with Storm Otto was,
58.85 % @ 2023-02-17 05:30:42
So we now have some data to compare for a future record.
(nowtyrecord for searching)
Its only a matter of time but I don't think we will have one till the next storm passes.

Re: UK Wind Record
Yes it's all a bit woolly when it's mild.
Just so you know, the BM Reports portal your viewing that on is getting killed off this year.

Re: UK Wind Record
Its windy out there today,
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-65038617
And looking like plenty of curtailment going on.

Re: UK Wind Record
Midday (GMT) generation today around 8.47GW verses the record of 9.89GW set midday (GMT) on 22/04/2021.
(nowtyrecord for searching)
So we are due for one.

Edit - The max solar today has been revised upwards to 8.56GW.
