Dr Neal Wade has worked on grid connected energy storage systems since 2008, when he provided academic support to the first network connected energy storage trials in the UK, using a 200 kWh battery system installed on an 11kV distribution network.
He works across academic and industrial projects on to develop the innovative methods and tools needed to plan, design and operate electricity networks to enable a low carbon energy system. He uses modelling, simulation, laboratory scale testing and real-world demonstration trials to increase understanding of the integration of low carbon generators and the electrification of heat and transport.
