Centre for Smart Grid

We are delighted to announce that the 1st OMICRON-Exeter Resilient Energy System INfrastructure (RESIN) Workshop will be hosted at the Streatham Campus of the University of Exeter, Exeter, Devon on the 6th and 7th June 2023.  

Save the Dates 6-7 June 2023 for the 1st OMICRON -Exeter Resilient Energy System INfrastructure (RESIN) Workshop.

The energy industry has developed immensely as we get closer to the UK 2050 net-zero target. The electrification of heat and transport will transform the electrical energy network infrastructure for both primary and secondary systems. Opportunities will surge with Challenges as we move forward with digitalisation. RESIN Workshop will be a non-profit technical event that focuses on bringing early career academics and professionals together with senior industrial and technical leaders to discuss these challenges and opportunities for the net-zero transition in energy sector. The technical themes of RESIN Workshop are three folds:

(1) health and life of primary network plant;

(2) testing, simulation and analysis of secondary power system protection and control equipment;

(3) solutions to the cyber vulnerabilities; and

(4) preparing for a Net-Zero Energy future

as we move to a digitalised net-zero future.

Join us in Exeter for this exciting knowledge exchange and enhancement opportunity. The RESIN Workshop will start at 9am on Tuesday 6th June 2023 and finish at 3pm on Wednesday 7th June 2023. Please save the dates and follow us for the call of papers, invited keynote speakers and technical and social programmes coming soon.
