Journal Article
Parra, D., Swierczynski, M., Stroe, D. I., Norman, S. A., Abdon, A., Worlitschek, J., …Patel, M. K. (in press). An interdisciplinary review of energy storage for communities: challenges and perspectives. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 79, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2017.05.003

Given the increasing penetration of renewable energy technologies as distributed generation embedded in the consumption centres, there is growing interest in energy storage systems located very close to consumers. These systems allow to increase the... Read More about An interdisciplinary review of energy storage for communities: challenges and perspectives.

Optimum community energy storage for renewable energy and demand load management (2017)
Journal Article
Parra, D., Norman, S. A., Walker, G. S., & Gillott, M. C. (2017). Optimum community energy storage for renewable energy and demand load management. Applied Energy, 200, 358-369. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2017.05.048

While the management of PV generation is the prime application of residential batteries, they can deliver additional services in order to help systems to become cost-competitive. They can level-out the demand and potentially reduce the cost and emiss... Read More about Optimum community energy storage for renewable energy and demand load management.

Field trialling of a pulse airtightness tester in a range of UK homes (2016)
Journal Article
Cooper, E., Zheng, X., Wood, C., Gillott, M. C., Tetlow, D., Riffat, S., & Simon, L. D. (2019). Field trialling of a pulse airtightness tester in a range of UK homes. International Journal of Ventilation, 18(1), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1080/14733315.2016.1252155

A new low pressure ‘quasi-steady’ pulse technique for determining the airtightness of buildings has been developed further and compared with the standard blower-door technique for field-testing a range of typical UK homes. The reported low pressure a... Read More about Field trialling of a pulse airtightness tester in a range of UK homes.
