In recent years, the idea of turning thousands of electric cars sitting idle on driveways into a vast, distributed energy storage system has captured the imagination of policymakers, energy compani...

Assumptions and simplifications The calculator above aims to help assess the running cost-saving potential of an EV. It makes various assumptions and simplifications to balance effort with accurac...

As Great Britain accelerates its transition away from fossil fuels, policymakers and engineers are increasingly asking how to deliver large-scale, reliable, low-carbon electricity in a system domin...

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) electricity transmission is a method of transporting large volumes of power, which is rapidly evolving in Great Britain (GB) due to changing factors such as geogr...

The concept of global warming due to greenhouse gases, catalysed by the industrial world, is not a new one. It was first proposed in 1824 by Joseph Fourier, where he established a link between gase...
