IET London Events

Digital skill shortages threaten growth. To thrive, businesses must act to attract and keep top tech talent. This event explores new tech and how businesses can develop people to use it.

This talk investigates how the kinetic energy of the wind is converted to kinetic energy to drive an electric vehicle via a 2.5 MW wind turbine placed in the London Array through multiple convertors and step down and step up transformers to the electrical grid to charge an electric vehicle located in a home in central London.

Technological developments have underpinned the increase in accuracy of weather forecasts. In particular, from the mid-1960s the use of increasingly sophisticated numerical models coupled with an enhanced availability of observations have led to modern five-day forecasts being as accurate as one-day forecasts 50 years ago. These developments will be discussed along with how numerical models are used to understand how the climate system works and how it might change in the future.
