UK optimization of electricity generation mix for 2030

From the perspective of the UK energy policy and future energy generation mix scenarios, this research is focused on the optimisation of the future shape of the electricity generation by 2030. Main priorities for future energy production will be focused on three crucial factors based on reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, security supply and affordability. Using optimised Excel spreadsheet, based on the dispatchable and non-dispatchable technologies, it has been tried to find out the lowest energy cost of electricity whilst the annual demand requirements and targets in terms of emissions and supply were satisfied.
