WHAT?
Turbine Development, Manufacture & Decomissioning
• Wind, wave and @dal turbines
• Improved design and manufacture: whole life cycle, carbon footprint; use of composites -‐ new materials, fibres, hybrids
• Resource and site characterisa@on: modelling & measurement
• Technology breakthroughs: blade technology/manufacture; materials; gear boxes; generator technology
• Smart-‐grid challenges: Voltage control; Real and ReacCve power control
• Genera@on: Device characterisCcs of emerging distributed generaCon (DG) technologies
• Storage technologies:
“The maximum demand in the province is around 1,800MW, but on a summer night, it is around only 600MW. If it is a windy summer night and there is 1,500/1,600 MW of wind, it cannot be used because there is nowhere for the power generated from it to go. (DETI Barriers report, quo@ng NIE)
Integra@on & Storage
Energy Efficiency
• Buildings • Process
Energy from Biomass
• Solid biomass to energy via thermal routes • Anaerobic Diges@on • Biogas upgrading & energy conversion
