To identify, implement, evaluate and disseminate best practices to support communities in their preparation for and response to electricity supply disruption caused by environmental hazards and to mitigate vulnerability.

The project focuses on the integration of an electrolyser based refueller with renewable energy; this allows the refueller to act as a demand side management load which enables zero carbon hydrogen to be produced for use as a vehicle fuel, and for the utilization of renewable power. The project will design, build, install and validate two grid-connected h...

ITM is embarking on a project, assisted by the Technology Strategy Board and other funding collaborators, which will result in a technical specification and model for a hydrogen gas storage and injection scheme, based on the use of electrolysers as a means of absorbing spare capacity from renewables and other sources. National Grid's July 2011 report on p...

Biomass use for energy production in the developed world is rising considerably because over its lifetime it can deliver significant carbon savings. Pelletisation is used to help mitigate the technical challenges of using biomass such as energy density and moisture content. Despite the benefits accruing from pellets, their utilisation on a large scale is ...

Vast quantities of data have been collected on individual household characteristics such as occupancy, property types, values, heating methods, tenure etc. With open source initiatives such as Ordnance Survey, compulsory registration with the Land Registry and the 2011 census, this has undergone a further step change. Fusing all these disperate data sourc...

The rollout of smart electricity meters heralds an explosion in the quantity and resolution of meter data: 500Bn consumption datapoints annually contrasts with the current volume of some 100M meter readings. If leveraged effectively the resulting dataset can support the transition to a low carbon economy by improving the efficiency, sophistication and spa...
