Public Lecture — Freestream Tidal Energy - Technology Development, Operation and the Route to Full Commercialisation
16 May 2023 • Sarum College, Salisbury, United Kingdom
Organizer:
Institute of Physics (IOP)
Abstract:
The UK is blessed with a significant tidal energy resource. Often it is the vertical rise and fall of the water that is both best understood and envisaged to be harnessed as a source of energy. In fact regions between high and low waters can, under the right conditions, be subjected to significant horizontal tidal streams or currents such that thrust forces per unit area are tens of times greater than the strongest winds. Harnessing this kinetic energy in our tides has been the subject of more significant research and development over the past 4 decades. In recent years the technology has both made great strides forth and also stagnated due to a number of issues. Most recently it appears that free stream tidal energy might have a further chance to prove itself and work towards generating a significant amount of (completely predictable) electricity to the electrical grid. This talk will cover the technology development & operational issues of freestream tidal energy and give a frank and open appraisal of the barriers to mass deployment.

PVSAT-17 & Super Solar Conference
26 Jun 2023 - 28 Jun 2023 • Institute of Physics, London, United Kingdom
Organizer:
Institute of Physics (IOP)
Abstract:
PVSAT-17 & Super Solar Conference is a 2.5-day event organised by the Institute of Physics (IOP). It is the UK’s premier scientific event for solar photovoltaics (PV) where the latest advances in research and development are presented and discussed. PVSAT conferences address all PV technologies including crystalline silicon, inorganic thin film, multi-junction concentrators, perovskites and emerging organic and hybrid cells, together with installation, performance monitoring, durability and energy and environmental impacts. The conference includes an industry exhibition and each year, the programme features talks by several invited speakers from world-leading institutions in PV. Join us to learn about and contribute to recent advances in photovoltaic research and development whilst connecting with the vibrant UK solar energy community.
