Grant Wilson is an Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering with research interests in multi-vector, multi-scale data analytics, and a particular focus on the comparison of energy vectors over similar timeframes. Grant has published 14 research papers in scientific journals as well several online pieces in The Conversation.
He is focussed on the decarbonisation of heat as a significant challenge for the UK’s energy systems underpinning a net-zero society. Digging deeper into the challenges of the decarbonisation of heat – it is the flexibility of energy systems to deliver energy in space and time that defines the greatest challenges. How do we provide energy system flexibility in a low-carbon manner? How do we do this over different timescales? The Birmingham Centre for Energy Storage is researching answers to these critical questions, and the Energy Informatics Group continues to focus on bringing wider attention to this looming problem.
He is also interested in innovations in teaching and learning, and passionate about the benefits of using empirical energy data in teaching and wider outreach on the challenges of the energy transition.
