Congratulations to all our ERBE Students who presented their research posters at the ERBE Colloquium, which took place on Nov 8th in University College, London. Students from MaREI, University of Loughborough and UCL welcomed the opportunity to meet and discuss their research with their peers and industry experts from the ERBE community.
Keynote Speaker for the event was Julian Leslie, Head of Networks & Chief Engineer, The National Grid ESO. Julian is a chartered engineer with three decades of transmission system operation, planning and investment experience. Julian’s role is to prepare Great Britain’s electricity network for net zero operation, defining future network needs so that market and network owners can invest in the right technology solutions at the right time. He is also responsible for transmission system connections, ensuring that access – both connection and maintenance – is safe, secure and straightforward and keeps consumers’ costs to a minimum.
