 The Electrical Power and Control Systems research group from the School of Engineering, University of Birmingham, is organising the Birmingham Decarbonisation Summer School from 17 -21 June 2024 at University of Birmingham.\n
 The topic is "Accelerating Energy Transition towards Net-Zero", which is open to all UK PhDs and Postdocs from both academia and industry, and from all net-zero related disciplines. This summer school is free of charge.\n
Summer School Briefing
 The training session, spans two days; summer school participants are able to work in groups on a real-world net-zero challenge proposed by our lead industry partner, culminating a group pitch presentation to the judging panel on the final day. Approximately 20 experts, mainly from industry, are invited to give keynote presentations, join the "Early-Career Forum" panel discussion, and act as the judges on the final pitch day. Site visits, networking dinners, and presentation competitions will secure a fruitful week for all.\n
Summer School Challenge
 One of the key challenges in achieving net-zero in the UK is how to unlock the renewable potential of remote islands. During this summer school, our lead industry partner, Dr Bless Kuri from SSEN Transmission, will offer the challenge of how to connect renewable generation on the Orkney archipelago to the GB transmission system in north Scotland. In this challenge, you will be positioned as a consultant to:\n

Develop the technical solution for the proposed transmission link
Develop the investment case for the project

 Take this great opportunity to join us to:\n

Gain awareness of what the real challenges are of the Energy Transition towards net-zero
