MSc by Research – ‘Smart Grids’ for a greener energy supply and consumption
The UK’s Low Carbon Transition Plan has committed the UK to reduce carbon generation by 34% by 2020, making the UK lead the way globally in plans to reduce carbon generation. This exciting collaborative research opportunity between Cranfield University and the University Centre Milton Keynes, aims to bring fresh thinking into practice to help the UK achieve this target.
The electrical infrastructure that serves UK consumers today, despite having evolved to perform efficiently and effectively over more than a hundred years, will require considerable investment and redesign if these targets are to be met.
Increasingly, the suite of technological capabilities known as the “Smart Grid” is being seen as the future form of this infrastructure. In the home environment these may allow the management of electricity supply and demand in an optimal way. The “Smart Grid” home may be able to inform the occupants of the best way to consume electricity, and to integrate excess capacity from domestic generation of power back into the grid.
Key to these “Smart Grid” technologies achieving success will be acceptance and use of them by the consumer. In this project, you will investigate how to make these technologies work for people in their own homes.
