Research title: Investigating the roles of hydrogen and electrification in an integrated UK electricity and natural gas system, on route to net-zero and beyond.
Research Summary
My postgraduate research studies focus on modelling energy and power systems in the UK, on route to net-zero. Therefore, I cover areas related to renewable energy generation, the operation, control, and analysis of energy transmission networks and their interactions, and the roles of hydrogen and power-to-gas technologies in future energy systems.
Current Research
An overview of my current research is as follows:
- Designing and modelling net-zero scenarios for the future UK energy system, with high levels of hydrogen and electrification.
- Modelling an integrated electricity and natural gas transmission system for the UK.
- Dynamic assessment of the optimal dispatch of an integrated electricity and natural gas system model, on route to net-zero.
- Developing transmission network operator scenarios that consider various levels of operator co-ordination.
