Our project will focus on the development of a specification that the energy sector (end users, energy suppliers, traders, technology platform providers and associated ancillary services) can use to create an end-to-end trading solution from local building level to national energy markets. This will enable organisations of all types and sizes to realise m...

Awaiting Public Project Summary

"**Challenge** In Sri Lanka limb-loss is a recognised country wide-challenge with about two-thirds of those with limb-differences facing unemployment forcing many to turn to begging on the streets and becoming marginalised by the rest of society. Despite the scale of the challenge, there are few viable upper-limb prosthetic devices available for those in ...

GreenSCIES2 will produce a detailed design for a smart energy system to integrate new low carbon energy technologies across heat, power and transport that can be replicated across the UK. Building on learnings from the GreenSCIES1 feasibility study, the expanded consortium will develop innovative technical/business models for the provision of smart energy...

Icing represents a complex and expensive problem in different industrial and energy applications -- aircraft, wind turbines, power lines -- causing incidents and severe accidents. The main mitigation methods rely on mechanical breaking of the ice, electrical heating, and de-icing chemicals. These are expensive, inefficient, unreliable, and environmentally...

Awaiting Public Project Summary

The cost of lithium-ion batteries is set to rise substantially in the near future, due to limited availability of lithium and the growing furore over "African blood Cobalt", a key material of automotive LIB. This project establishes a capability to manufacture alternative candidate sodium-ion batteries at Deregallera. It develops low cost, readily scalabl...

To develop a continuous high-speed thermal printer using linear motion control to deliver the speed and accuracy needed to deliver high-quality print. To embed virtual engineering as a method for developing printer design.

"UK policy targets 15% green power generation by 2020 and 57% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030\. This has led to a significant growth in installed wind power capacity within the last decade (especially in offshore wind power in the UK) to 18.9 GW in the UK and 539 GW globally. The UK market has multiplied 10-fold, supplying 5.4% of the UK's electricity ...

"The problem of persistent plastic waste and lack of adequate recycling solutions poses a significant challenge to current and future generations. As the amount of plastic placed on market (POM) continues to increase, the amount we recycle is failing to make tangible inroads into curbing the amount of end-of-life plastic POM being disposed (landfill, inci...

"This project involves providing low cost, highly efficient smart energy systems for local communities. It builds upon a district scheme at Bunhill in Islington whereby heat from a London Underground ventilation shaft is used to provide heating for local residents - providing low cost and low carbon energy. This project considers a number of additional se...

"The vision is to create a energy marketplace in the South Bank area with the desired outcome being socio-economic and environmental benefits. Specifically, there are under-exploited opportunities in micro-generation (including storage), demand side response, utilisation of heat networks and energy efficiency. New technologies will be central to our appro...
