Back cover UPEC 2009 is supported by: Hosted by WELCOME TO UPEC 2009 IN GLASGOW It is our privilege and pleasure to welcome you to the 44th Universities’ Power Engineering Conference in Glasgow, Scotland from 1 to 4 September 2009. UPEC has been long-established as a major annual international forum for the presentation, exchange and discussion of information concerning new trends in electric power engineering. As well as universities, there will be contributions from utilities, manufacturers and consultancies. UPEC presents a valuable opportunity to actively exchange ideas and network with fellow delegates from around the world. The first full UPEC conference was held in Glasgow back in 1967, so it is particularly poignant for the local organising committee to welcome the conference and delegates back to the city this year. As ever, the conference will provide an excellent opportunity to meet old friends, make new ones and become better informed about the latest developments in the field of power engineering. These are particularly important now as the world faces up to major challenges in energy and transport for which talented young engineers and innovations will be essential. The high number of contributions submitted to the conference is testimony to its continuing appeal. A total of 436 submissions were received, and after a two stage review process a final technical programme incorporating nearly 300 papers has been established. These various contributions will be presented across parallel sessions, running from Wednesday 2 September to Friday 4 September 2009. Furthermore, the programme of parallel paper sessions will be preceded by the UPEC tutorial on Tuesday 1 September. This is included in the conference fee and will feature presentations from internationally renowned experts on the theme of “Powering the Low Carbon Future: Technology Challenges and Prospects”. As a rare opportunity to hear so many leading practitioners gathered in one place to address offshore wind, carbon capture and storage, next generation nuclear fission, tidal generation and wave power, we look forward to welcoming a large and interested audience. To support good technical engagement at UPEC, the papers have been made available to pre-registered delegates on the conference web site. The proceedings are also available at Conference on a CD – to minimise waste, no paper copies will be printed by the organisers. Those papers presented at Conference will be preserved as conference proceedings and archived on IEEE Xplore for ongoing reference by the power engineering community. The organisation of UPEC has been supported by the dedicated efforts of many, including the hard working members of the Local Organising Committee, the International Steering Committee and the conference support teams at the University of Strathclyde. The conference has also been enhanced by the participation of our supporters and exhibitors, for which thanks is due. Glasgow, with a population of around 650,000, is Scotland’s largest city, the commercial capital of Scotland and one of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan destinations in Europe. While formerly known for building ships, locomotives and powerful machines, the city has been reborn as a centre of style and vitality set against a backdrop of outstanding Victorian architecture. It is also blessed by being surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery in Western Europe. Glasgow boasts world famous art collections, the best shopping in the United Kingdom outside London and over 20 wonderful museums and galleries, each with its own individual collection and events programme, and all with free admission. And being within the city centre, the conference is within easy reach of the many visitor attractions. Furthermore, the city is able to boast having Europe’s largest onshore windfarm at Whitelee located nearby, just to the South of the city. The Local Organising Committee has made every effort to ensure your stay in Glasgow is professionally fruitful and socially enjoyable. Various social events have been arranged throughout the week including a conference banquet in Glasgow’s Science Centre on the banks of the River Clyde and a visit to the Falkirk Wheel and Stirling Castle. Accompanying persons will also be looked after with a varied programme of visits. We trust you will enjoy your time with us.

  • Developing District Heating Systems
    Developing District Heating Systems Robert Kilpatrick Assistant Director Development & Operations, University of Strathclyde Why District Heating? • One of the key strategies that can deliver a step change in carbon reduction • Aligns with the Scottish Governments strategy towards decarbonising the heat network • Puts heating pipework infrastructure into the ground that can last for 50+ years having flexibility to produce the heat through a range of current and potentially still to be developed heat generation technologies • Provides an opportunity to tackle fuel poverty through connecting social housing • The opportunity to link to other district heating to improve resilience and take advantage of differing heat load profiles The Scottish Governments Climate Change Delivery Plan • The Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 sets targets to reduce Scotland's emissions of the basket of six Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gases by 42% by 2020 and 80% by 2050, compared to the 1990/1995 baseline • The Scottish Government's Climate Change Plan, Third Report on Proposals and Policies 2018-2032 (RPP3) published February 2018 sets out how Scotland can deliver its target of 66% emissions reductions, relative to the baseline, for the period 2018–2032. • The focus is on energy efficiency, in early years, with a greater uptake of low carbon heating sources (heat pumps and district heating) and energy efficiency measures from 2025. The HE Sector Perspective To acknowledge and highlight each University’s commitment to sustainable development, both University of Glasgow and University of Strathclyde joined other leading universities around the world in becoming signatories to the Talloires Declaration and the Copernicus Charter. ULSF is the Secretariat for signatories of the Copernicus - The University Charter for Sustainable Talloires (pronounced Tal-Whar) Declaration.

  • Annual Climate Change and Social Responsibility Performance Report
    Annual Climate Change and Social Responsibility Performance Report An update on headline climate change performance for the financial year 2018/2019. 1.0 Introduction This note reports on initiatives and actions being taken to tackle climate change mitigation and adaptation across the University estate for the financial year 2018/2019. It also outlines performance against the University’s Strategic Plan Carbon Reduction Target. The University continues to make good progress in tackling a range of climate change mitigation and adaptation aspects. During the year there has been a concentrated focus on the commissioning and operation of the £20M Combined Heat and Power District Energy Scheme which is now 100% complete and operational. After some initial teething issues resulting in excess heat being rejected by the CHP and low heating efficiencies, we are now seeing the system delivery significant cost and energy efficiency savings to the University. During 2018/19 some of the District Energy Scheme higlights are as follows: The system was operational for 99% of the time (well above the 92% target) The installation achieved CHP Quality Assurance accreditation making it exempt from Climate Change Levy. Over 1,000 tonnes of carbon diverted from the atmoshpere by generating and consuming our own electricity. 2.0 University Strategic Plan Carbon Reduction Target The University’s Strategic Plan carbon target requires a reduction of CO2e of 25% by 2020 based on a 2009/2010 baseline. This equates to a reduction from 30,000 tonnes of CO2e to 22,500 tonnes by 2020. The target is essentially a measure of the gross carbon emissions across the whole of our estate relative to the gross internal area of our campus and it is made up of two main emissions sources: a) grid electricity, and b) fossil fuel combustion.
