[esp-r] Microgeneration Conference

[Nicolas Kelly]

Dear All

Not strictly ESP-r related, but if you're doing some microgeneration-related simulation with the growing raft of renewable and low-carbon components in ESP-r this may be of interest.

Regards,

Nick Kelly

 Announcement and Call for Abstracts



The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow is proud to host the 2nd International Conference in Microgeneration and Related Technologies in Buildings - MICRoGEN `II.  Glasgow has a worldwide reputation as a welcoming city and is firmly established and experienced as a major centre for conferences and international events.

The conference theme is enabling a highly distributed energy future, focusing on the diffusion of low carbon microgeneration technologies such as micro CHP, PV, micro wind, solar thermal, heat pumps and biomass heating within future, highly distributed energy systems.  The conference is multi-disciplinary and is an opportunity for the many disparate stakeholders working in the field to meet and exchange knowledge at a time of rapid technological developments and changes to energy supplies and systems worldwide.

Papers are welcome in the following themes:

*         Developments in microgeneration  and enabling technologies

*         Practical experiences with microgeneration

*         Modelling and technical analysis of microgeneration systems

*         Integrating demand side management and microgeneration




*         The sustainability of microgeneration

*         Societal impacts of microgeneration

*         Policy and planning for microgeneration

*         Microgeneration markets and economics

*         Impact of microgeneration at the large scale


A full afternoon of the conference will be industry-focused featuring contributions from industry experts and highlighting commercial perspectives on the future development of technology in this emergent field.

The conference will also feature workshops where delegates will have the opportunity to gain "hands-on" experience with some of the cutting-edge software developed for stakeholders in microgeneration from designers to policy makers.
