INDUSTRIAL ADVISORY BOARD RESEARCH COMMITTEE APPLIED TECHNOLOGY UNIT Environmental Monitoring Water & WW Treatment Waste & Remediation Energy from Biomass Turbines Demand Side Management QUESTOR MANAGER CASE DIRECTOR Governance / Structure Our Research Priorities CASE STEERING GROUP

Demand Side Management Smart-grid challenges: Voltage control; Real and Reactive power control Generation: Device characteristics of emerging distributed generation (DG) technologies Storage technologies: “The maximum demand in the province is around 1,800MW, but on a summer night, it is around only 600MW. If it is a windy summer night and there is 1,500/1,600 MW of wind, it cannot be used because there is nowhere for the power generated from it to go. (DETI Barriers report, quoting NIE)

Turbine Development, Manufacture & Decommissioning Wind, wave and tidal turbines Improved design and manufacture: whole life cycle, carbon footprint; use of composites - new materials, fibres, hybrids Resource and site characterisation: modelling & measurement Technology breakthroughs: blade technology/manufacture; materials; gear boxes; generator technology Source: Marine Current Turbines

Energy from Biomass Solid biomass to energy via thermal routes: holistic approach from production to end- use ensuring consistent, high quality fuel; technology optimised for biomass resource. Anaerobic Digestion: evaluation of wastes, manures and energy crops including grass silage – a potential MWe; technology optimisation and efficiency improvement. Biogas upgrading & energy conversion: developments in upgrading and processing of biogas and the onward use of the biomethane in fuel cells or conversion to liquid biofuels.
