Distributed Energy - A Global Review
Posted December 6th, 2007 by kesI am conducting research on Distributed Energy (DE) as part of my ENVERA exchange at Melbourne University in Australia. DE is commonly understood as small and medium scale technologies that generate electricity (and possibly heat). The term is often used to describe energy generated by units that are close to the location of use (but they can also feed into the grid). Examples include solar hot water heaters or wind turbines.
Distributed Energy in Australia
Posted November 21st, 2007 by kesI have arrived in Australia after more than 24 hours of flying from Copenhagen, with a stopover in Singapore, then to Melbourne. It's certainly a long trip, but the summer weather is worth it!
I will be working at ACSIS at Melbourne University developing a project with a large energy company, called Origin Energy who are well-known in this part of the world.
