results/benefits

   

Several key advances are associated with the project

 a database of demand profiles has been established that reflects the different use sectors and the impact of energy efficiency measures.

 a procedure has been developed for the matching of NRE technologies to demand scenarios and the assessment of these matches in terms of energy and power quality metrics. This allows practitioner to identify and design suitable schemes, and utility network managers to optimize these schemes in relation to power quality impact

  the bSmart procedure has been applied within 3 real scale case studies, two of which achieved actual implementations of NRE systems.

 results of investigations have shown the highest impact on power quality is not necessarily to be anticipated at the highest generation levels or load demands

  new knowledge on small scale embedded generation concept has been disseminated to utilities, local authorities and design practice and the embedded generation concept has been promoted to the wider community

  a novel PV integrated ducted wind turbine has been constructed and deployed

If every building in Glasgow had this technology just think how this could save money and the environment.
