The Carbon Capture & Storage Journal Club brings together researchers from various disciplines working on CCS related topics and provides a platform for discussion of inter- and cross-disciplinary concepts.
The integration of distributed and non-dispatchable renewable energy into the wider energy system (electricity, heat/cold and transport) poses significant challenges for the design and operation of the energy system. For example, due to the increasing fraction of non-dispatchable generation it becomes more important to provide novel mechanisms to balance supply and demand.
Combine hydrogen production with technology to capture and store the resulting carbon emissions and you could have the means of decarbonising the heat, power and transport needs of entire cities across the UK.
The Smart Grid Journal Club brings together researchers from various disciplines working on smart grid related topics. We meet on a regular bi-weekly basis and we discuss journal publications on smart grids. We are an open and friendly group and we try to keep our meetings relaxed and informal. If you are interested in joining us, please send us an email.
