THIS IS AN IN PERSON AND ONLINE EVENT Data-driven solutions are essential for green energy infrastructure  Summary: In a world powered by renewables, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are emerging as the ‘must-have’ asset class that will hold things together – bridging the physics of grids and the economics of markets.  And with the associated operational & financial complexities of batteries comes [...]

Dr Sarah Darby, Emerita Research Fellow with the Energy Programme at the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), will be speaking at an upcoming webinar hosted by APESA. Her talk will focus on the concept of energy sufficiency, drawing on work she co-authored with Dr Tina Fawcett at the ECI.

As an operational weather forecaster, an understanding of how numerical weather prediction models are structured and initialised enables better interpretation of their output and estimation of uncertainties in the forecast.  Renewable energy (which in the UK means mainly wind and solar generation) is increasingly providing our electricity.  As the installed renewable capacity increases, reliable estimates of uncertainty become increasingly important [...]

The Tony Blair Institute of Global Change recently published an article asserting that reducing emissions was difficult and would fail unless we expanded use of technologies that are expensive and a challenge to living standards. This is reminiscent of nineteenth century economist William Stanley Jevons’ in “The Coal Question”, warning of the limits that finite coal resources placed on British [...]

THIS IS AN IN PERSON AND ONLINE EVENT A panel discussion overview on the role of aviation and its environmental impacts, current concerns and research evidence, including three short talks from experts and practitioners and how their work connects with the role of aviation in an energy context. The panel will then reflect on the talks and speak about any issues [...]
