A review of the potential of smart homes to support independent living (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fox, C., Rodrigues, L. T., Altomonte, S., & Gillott, M. C. A review of the potential of smart homes to support independent living. Presented at 16th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (SET2017)

Between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years of age is expected to nearly double, from 12% to 22%. Whilst hospitals offer care to people with health problems, support at home is generally limited to carers, a costly l...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jones, S., Gillott, M. C., Boukhanouf, R., Walker, G. S., Tunzi, M., Tetlow, D., Rodrigues, L. T., & Sumner, M. A system design for distributed energy generation in low temperature district heating (LTDH) networks. Presented at 16th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (SET2017)

Project SCENIC (Smart Controlled Energy Networks Integrated in Communities) involves connecting properties at the University of Nottingham’s Creative Energy Homes test site in a community scale, integrated heat and power network. Controls will be dev... Read More about A system design for distributed energy generation in low temperature district heating (LTDH) networks.

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., O'Doherty, T., Rodrigues, L. T., Gillott, M. C., Zhang, X., Bauer, C., & 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.
