Summary: The main goal of this talk is to provide a current overview of the challenges and opportunities for electric energy systems resulting from the build-up of AI data centers. The talk will begin with the latest data on ongoing and projected growth in electric power load growth along with a discussion of key uncertainties and barriers. Next,  the impacts [...]

Summary: While support for net zero has become more fragmented, the majority of the UK public are still concerned about, and support action on, climate change. Recent research suggests that the level of ambition for demand-side measures in meeting our climate targets has been too constrained. This seminar will discuss the results of a two-year citizens’ panel exploring the social [...]

Summary: Transport is electrifying, and the transition is accelerating. The question is not so much whether electricity is the future of energy for (most) transport, but rather what modes of electrically powered transport are available in which geographies and for whose use? How are the energy and transport systems integrated – and how does that shape or reflect the built [...]

Summary: David installed a 4 kWp solar array and a 10 kWh battery system at his home in Oxford in 2023. In this talk, David will share what the data so far reveal about system performance, including operational modes, energy production and throughput, and the resulting cost savings and payback. He will also use historical data to explore how different [...]
