IET Humber Events

Drawing on his experience managing three OFTOs, Ian will discuss the unique challenges of operating and maintaining offshore electrical networks in line with legislation, standards, and industry codes of practice. His presentation will address both the technical interfaces and the strategic challenges faced in achieving the UK Governments offshore energy targets.

This session will explore the transformative role of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and eMobility in the global energy transition. Participants will gain insights into the principles behind these technologies, examine real-world implementations, and discuss emerging trends shaping their future. The session aims to foster understanding of how BESS and eMobility intersect to support decarbonisation, grid stability, and sustainable transportation.

The transition to Net Zero will require a significant increase in the number of low carbon technologies (LCTs) being connected to the Low Voltage (LV) Network, including Electric Vehicles (EV), Heat Pumps (HP) and Photovoltaics (PV). As LCTs are mainly single phase and an inverter-based technology, they may have a negative impact on power quality (PQ), particularly, harmonics.
