In collaboration with Roger Duck http://uk.linkedin.com/in/rogerduck/ we are currently exploring the implications of smart grid technology, applied to the electricity system in International, Europe and UK electricity industries. We are doing this by:

• modeling the system,
• modeling the implications for market structure
• delivering a workshop to explore the potential for a distributed yet connected grid with small scale independent electricity providers

This is our positioning statement on smart grid: 20141201 – Article for Smart Grids briefing document – Roger Duck and Jane Searles (issued)

We also presented our modeling conclusions at the 2013 UK Systems Society Conference:

UKSS Smart Energy final – Searles and Duck

and at a SCiO open day

If you would like to engage with us on this important topic, we would be very pleased to hear from you.
