Demonstrators

Digital demonstrators help visualise the transformational potential to create a highly interconnected and flexible multi-energy network. Our close collaboration with industrial partners enables practical and commercial aspects related to digital solutions are adequately considered for case study definition and living lab demonstrators.

Interactive Database of Multi-Vector Networks Demonstrators

As part of the research activities under the Supergen Energy Networks Hub, Cardiff University researchers led by Dr Muditha Abeysekera, have developed a research database of existing Multi-Vector Energy Networks Demonstrators. Currently, the database stores information from over 60 multi-vector energy networks demonstrators in and outside of the United Kingdom. These numbers will continue to grow as more information is received from collaborations through Supergen Energy Networks Hub community, academic and industrial partners.

The database contains information about:

the location; spatial scale; types of energy vectors available (e.g. Electricity, Natural gas, District heating, etc.); multi-energy power generation technologies and energy-vector coupling technologies present(e.g. wind turbines, solar PV, CHP units); investment; funding bodies and leading organisations and technological as well as commercial concepts being tested in each demonstrator.

The database also collates links to various reports, data sets and publications that provide further information of studies carried out.
