Mitigating Curtailment Risks in Korea’s Renewable Future: Grid Simulation with Offshore Wind AEP and Transmission Scenarios

Korea has set ambitious targets for renewable energy deployment as part of its long-term decarbonisation strategy, with offshore wind expected to play a central role. As large-scale offshore wind projects are developed along coastal regions that are electrically distant from major load centres, concerns regarding transmission congestion and renewable energy curtailment have emerged as a key issue for system planners, investors, and policymakers.
