Power system load modelling in a smart grid environment

Power system load modelling remains a challenging area yet to be fully understood.  Measurement based load modelling is widely used by industry to develop load models at high v more...

Demand-side Power Network Control

Modern power systems much achieve efficiencies in capital expenses for networks by smoothing out peak power demands at the same time as more renewable generation is being used. This more...

Distributed control of distributed energy resources

This project investigates possible agent-based distributed control hierarchies to enable efficient control and aggregation of large numbers of distributed energy resources. more...

Participation of Wind Generation in Frequency Control

The increased integration of wind generation is accompanied with a growing concern about secure and reliable power system operation. For example, to cope with wind intermittency, th more...

Graph-based Methods in Power Networks Analysis, Optimisation and Control

The analysis tools for power networks assume that the network is either a transmission or a distribution network. These days with distributed generation, demand-side control, storag more...

Imaging a patient while they move

Diagnosing knee, shoulder and back complaints can be difficult because we currently cannot image a patient as they walk or pick up an object. The aim of this project is to develop more...

Modelling and Stability of Power Networks with Renewable Generation

Most investigations on the impact of renewables on grid stability consider one stability type and one basic network.  Our aim is to develop principles that can be used to help more...

Future Generation and Grid Planning

In the past, planners placed generation according to fuel and water availability, proximity to urban populations and then expanded the grid to allow efficient power delivery and lat more...

Cohesive Crack Model in Coupled Hydro-Mechanical Theory of Partially Saturated Soils

The fissuring and healing of clay is modeled using a novel approach, within a finite-element framework, that will allow the design of new materials and new geotechnical structures w more...
