AB  - Integration  of  a  large  capacity  of  wind  generation  in  the  Great  Britain(GB)electricity network is expected to pose a number of operational challenges. The variable nature of wind generation necessitates  introduction  of  technologies  that  can  provide  flexibility  to  generation  portfolios  and therefore compensate for intermittency of wind generation. In this paper, the efficacy of three options to address electricity balancing challenges was evaluated: flexible gas-fired plants, electricity storage andPower-to-Gas system. The combined gas and electricity network model (CGEN) was enhanced and through adopting a rolling optimisation approach the model aims at minimising the operational cost of an integrated gas and electricity networks that represents a GBsystem in 2030. The potential impacts of  employing  each  of  the  flexibility  options  on  the  operation  of  the  integrated  electricity  and  gas networks  were  investigated. The  analysis  showed  that amongst  all  the  flexibility  options, the deployment of grid-scale electricity storage will achieve the highest reduction in the operational cost of the integrated system (£12 million reduction in a typical winter week, and £3 million reduction in a typical summerweek). The results of this study provide insights on the system-wide benefits offered by each of the flexibility options and role of the gas network in the energy system with large capacity of wind generation.
