Introduction to Our Project

Welcome to the home page for Our Project! We are a group of four students studying MSc Energy Systems and the Environment at the University of Strathclyde-Glasgow in Scotland. This project is the second part of the course. In this part, we were asked to tackle a problem of practical relevance in close co-operation with industrial personnel. We were also required to make regular progress reports, cumulating in the final presentation of a final report to a panel of interested experts. This web site is what were asked to deliver as an outcome of the 12 week study and gives information on the team, how we tackled the problem we chose to investigate, the progress made during the 12 weeks, the results and conclusions we made and finally closing remarks from the team on more general and personal thoughts on the project. The Project Our group chose to develop a methodology of implementation of renewable energy systems at a small scale. We also felt that a case study based approach would be the best and hence chose the village of Lochgilphead for reasons developed in the website.
