Theoretical and experimental thermal performance assessment of an innovative external wall insulation system for social housing retrofit (2017)
Journal Article
Rodrigues, L., White, J., Gillott, M., Braham, E., & Ishaque, A. (2018). Theoretical and experimental thermal performance assessment of an innovative external wall insulation system for social housing retrofit. Energy and Buildings, 162, 77-90. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2017.10.020

© 2017 The UK building stock, being amongst the oldest in the developed world, is also one of the least energy efficient and accounts for approximately 45% of UK carbon emission. Energy use from housing alone was responsible for 13% of total UK carbo...

An interdisciplinary review of energy storage for communities: challenges and perspectives (2017)
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.
