Minimising Carbon Output And Sustainable Solar Energy

The Energy Hub paradigm: holistic optimisation of building energy usage for the low carbon age.

Dr. Simon LeBlond from the University of Bath will be giving an overview of his work in the use of mathematics and ICT to manage and optimise building energy usage in the low carbon age. This uses the flexible concept of "Energy Hubs" to make the best ensemble use of the energy supply networks, local micro-generation and energy storage such that the building's cost and carbon emissions are simultaneously minimised.

A brighter future for sustainable solar energy
Prof. Alison Walker from the University of Bath will explore excitonic solar cells, which are innovative devices that produce electricity in a similar way to natural photosynthesis; and how research on these cells will contribute towards making solar power a more viable technology worldwide encouraging the use of renewable energy and mitigating against the effects of climate change.
