Rapid changes are being experienced by the energy systems requiring to house an increasing amount of renewable energy sources, and also new kinds of loads like those obtained from decarbonized transport.

Energy communities will play a key role in building the more decentralised, less carbon intensive, and fairer energy systems of the future.

Credit: HW University Energy communities will play a key role in building the more decentralised, less carbon intensive, and fairer energy systems of the future. Such communities enable local prosumers (consumers with own generation and storage) to generate, store and trade energy with each other -- using locally owned assets, such as wind turbines, rooftop solar panels and batteries. In turn, this enables the community to use more locally generated renewable generation, and shifts the market p...

New machine learning method accurately predicts battery state of health Researchers from the Smart Systems Group at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK, working together with researchers from the CALCE group at the University of Maryland in the US, have developed a new method to estimate battery health irrespective of operating conditions and battery design or chemistry, by feeding artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with the raw battery voltage and current operational data. A paper des...
