The latest research activity within the Institute for Energy Systems Smart Grid Journal Club The Smart Grid Journal Club brings together researchers from various disciplines working on smart grid related topics. We meet on a regular bi-weekly basis and we discuss journal publications on smart grids. We are an open and friendly group and we try to keep our meetings relaxed and informal. Edinburgh Fluid Dynamics Group The Edinburgh Fluid Dynamics Group aims to promote a sustainable culture of cooperation and leadership in fluid dynamics research within the University of Edinburgh. Energy Storage Discussion Group The integration of distributed and non-dispatchable renewable energy into the wider energy system (electricity, heat/cold and transport) poses significant challenges for the design and operation of the energy system. For example, due to the increasing fraction of non-dispatchable generation it becomes more important to provide novel mechanisms to balance supply and demand. Marine and Environmental Fluid Dynamics Journal Club Fluid dynamics plays an essential role in our everyday life. You might think of our blood flow, on hot summer days the air-conditioning system, the potable water network, or stirring our coffee in the mornings to enhance the mixing process and the heat transfer. Carbon Capture & Storage Journal Club The Carbon Capture & Storage Journal Club brings together researchers from various disciplines working on CCS related topics and provides a platform for discussion of inter- and cross-disciplinary concepts.
